I never think of her as being a dull or even a negative person...not even a glass half empty person but maybe a "saddened" person...not one to dwell on the bumps and bruises of her life at all, but carries a aura of sadness...almost like she would never choose the hot pink or bright blue in the crayon box because she doesn't deserve it... Peanuts cartoon for today.... one of the little boys (not Charlie Brown but another I can't identify) is talking to Lucy..."We used crayons in school today. We learned all about colors." Lucy: "Like what?" "Like the fat kid next to me takes all the good colors" Maybe that is how my sister feels..."the fat kid takes all the best colors".... Write on my sweet friend!

Peanuts cartoon for today….

one of the little boys (not Charlie Brown but another I can’t identify) is talking to Lucy…”We used crayons in school today. We learned all about colors.”

Lucy: “Like what?”

“Like the fat kid next to me takes all the good colors”

Maybe that is how my sister feels…”the fat kid takes all the best colors”….

Write on my sweet friend!
