I love reading the billboard signs on some of the churches in our neighbourhood, as they can be quite comical, or sometimes they play on words like, “A day without God makes one weak.” A couple of days ago I saw one that said, “Press the reset button,” and it rang so true for me that I almost cried when I saw it (if you read my article on page 30, you’ll understand why I’m such a cry baby right now). Later that day, a young man passed me by and gave me the finger while honking at me. I guess the fact I was going 40 on a 40 wasn’t good enough for him. But on this day, I remembered that sign and decided to press that reset button... Instead, I chose not to get upset at him, not to judge him, because you just never know what he was going through. I like to believe he was rushing to the hospital to have a baby. It’s comforting. Life is complicated, and with this issue I wanted to offer some simplicity; in some way, give our readers a pat on the back that “it’s okay” to give yourself a break sometimes. Make an easy meal, allow yourself a gift, reinvent your retirement, ease the stress. We all need to give ourselves a hug sometimes, without expectations that others will do that. I hope this issue is one that makes you feel good. We deserve a nice summer, especially after such a ‘blah’ spring – dont’ we? Go ahead, press the reset button.
