HI everyone,

When I was very very young Judy came up to me and said, "Why are you hiding, Irene?"
And I said, "I'm afraid and cranky".
And Judy said, "Well, you don't need to be afraid because it'll get better" !
"AND since you are cranky then just don't speak to anyone for awhile, and you don't need to worry because it'll Always and Only Gets Better " !
"BUT you can talk to me Anyway even though you're a grouch because I understand, I get grouchy too !
Come on, let's play ! "
And Very Soon all GOT BETTER !!!
I apply Judy's wonderful ideas often, sometimes Daily, and whenever I see a "grouch cadette" I ignore the crankiness and listen and hang, until my new friend feels good again.

... Just passing on your friendship and good ideas, Judy !
Thank You for being my friend,
LOVE,
-Irene.
