How do I keep sunshine in my heart, regardless of the weather outside?  What would my mother tell me?

She would definitely say, “My darling, don’t you remember what your great, great grandmother Norifa always said?”

“Honey, you just paint your nails golden and reflect in the glow!”

WHAT IS A COMMUNAL STORY?

The above story is a compilation of individual lines proffered by the ladies present at the writing group meetings.  Basically, the meeting facilitator presents a blank sheet of paper to the writer sitting closest to her.  The first recipient writes whatever comes to mind and slips it to the next person.  Each writer adds one line as the story paper progresses around the table.  When it is returned to the facilitator, the short story is read for the great amusement of all present!!
