It occurred to me this morning that although I’ve posted a couple times already this week, I’ve forgotten to include a countdown at the end of each post, breaking from my faithful tradition.  Whoops!  I’ll have to remember to include my countdown when I’m through here.  I choose to blame my absentmindedness on being incredibly

Lindy stared blankly at the music in front of her.  For once, she couldn’t concentrate.  The neighbors’ dogs  barked every time she picked up her instrument.  She was exhausted.  Suddenly playing didn’t seem fun anymore.

I hate that phrase.  While watching Army Wives the other night, an “angel” character said that to one of the women on the show who was grieving over the loss of her daughter.  Immediately, I thought of the sarcastic response to that phrase which I believe some comedian or other famous person said years ago
