I was one of the lucky ones in fifth grade.I flunked the vision test given at school by the county nurse. This was back in the day when the nurses in their white uniforms would show up- not to do lice checks, like they do now- but for vision and hearing checks. And the occasional school bus trip to the "big" school where we lined up in long rows and tried not to cry in front of our classmates when those same nurses gave us our vaccinations. Ouch.I must admit I was a little excited about the … [Read more...]

How are your insides today?Are you peaceful and calm or are your "innards" roiling and churning and anything but calm?
