JUST FOR A MOMENT …

January 28, 2023 by cynthiarogan 2 Comments

Whether we mean to or not, we make assumptions. I was in the middle of making a big dinner when I ran out of milk for one of the dishes. The convenience store a few blocks away was, of course, convenient, but the line was a mile long. I picked up the milk and took my place behind a tiny gray-haired woman in a tattered plaid coat. When it was her turn, she placed several cans of … [Read more...] about JUST FOR A MOMENT …
