@Past_Factory This was fun and it gave me a degree larger than my bachelor's. Math ... as always, earned my worst scoring here.

Let the Children Come
Little Tyke reached out and put his own hand in the water and touched the top of his hair, which I had never seen happen before. The congregation erupted in spontaneous applause and probably a bit of laughter and smiles.https://t.co/fYP6CelZAR

The older I get, the harder it is mentally for me to help clear out a home, apartment, or a room at a retirement facility. As persons even older than me (generally) have to move to a place for nursing care or because they can no longer keep up their home, https://t.co/inedWkiMwL

For many of us, our working hours make up a full third of our lives, or more. While I desperately wish everyone could have jobs they enjoy, unfortunately there are many jobs that are dirty .... https://t.co/vibrACvOuo

I supported Mennonite Mission Network! The voluntary service program I participated in back in 1970 was very influential in my life. Check them out here: https://t.co/Sv7jKomVcj

I enjoy reading about dogs because it seems to help me understand our dog better, such as her devotion to my husband. She follows him almost anywhere, even when he is exercising his leg on a home stationary bike. https://t.co/EoAKocItxG

Loneliness is a fact of life. Sociologists and psychologists point out that being alone is the most common human condition. Think about it: at the beginning of life, the baby leaves the comfort of the womb to enter the stark delivery room. https://t.co/Fpb9u9sqIi

I remember an office friend who said her four-year-old girl announced before they went somewhere, “I’m going to be shy tonight.” That may sound cute but it infuriated her mother (child hiding in her mother’s skirt, etc.) and I forget now why her parents https://t.co/m33RfE3r2Q

I always thought it would be cool to be the “new girl” and was ready for a new adventure. But it turned out to be the hardest year—friend-wise—of my life. https://t.co/3Ma4xqC0mq
