Shake It Up — sometimes it is harder than one might think if there is too much emotionally going on. Very dear friends lost their son a couple of weeks ago, and life has really revolved around them, as it should. So it has been tough to think about something seemingly trivial as a blog about how to shake up a routine.

So what did I do this past Thursday? Just tried to keep things lighthearted, tell a few jokes (some were better than others), be kind, and appreciate life and everyone who is put in our path.
