"Have no fear for what tomorrow may bring. The same loving God who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations."-St Francis DeSales

great advice Ardy - thank you. One tip I got from a friend who's dad had a stroke was to get those sponge type hair rollers to slip onto utensils and pens and such. They're cheap and easy to use and 'fattens' up those items so I can use them. Helen P. Ardeith <ardeith@...> wrote:Ardeith writes: ...
