Light a candle, say a prayer

This year was going along swimmingly: I learned to drop spindle, I got to visit with my cousin from B.C., we finished paying off a loan.

Then, wham, bam, not even a thank you ma'am, in the past 24 hours a friend's beloved kitty has died, another friend's brother has wound up in ICU with a blood clot in his lung, and my husband has been laid off.

So light a candle, say a prayer, stand on your head...do whatever it is you do to send out good vibes to anyone you know who needs 'em.
