Patience (Extra strength.)
Kindness (Original, not the low-cal fake stuff.)
Common Sense (I know it's expensive, 'cause it's rare, but it's well worth the cost)
Laughter (Get the kind where your gut hurts when you use it and sometimes pee your pants. I know it can get addicting and sometimes messy and embarrassing, but I just HAVE to have some of it.)
Nature (Not too wild, the mellow kind with birdies, squirrels, trees, pollywogs, dragonflies, wild bunnies. No bears and cougars and things like that. And, if you get the one with Eagles and Hawks and stuff, make sure it's the one where we don't see them eat the cute little animals.)
Music (Get something aged that will go with the Nature, but not too aged.)
Friends (make sure you get the one with no warning labels, and if it's available please get the one with honesty as the main ingredient, with a little trustworthiness, funniness, and maybe some of that ingredient that makes it so if we lose it for a while and then we find it again it will be just like we never lost it.)
Creativity (I know this will be a hard one to find, not because there is no creativity, but because it's hard to know sometimes which one to pick and there are so many choices. Just pick one at random and we'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can get a different one next time.)
Love (Again, so many choices, but I think right now we need one that is not a romantic love, but one that helps us love ourselves. Look for the package labeled "self-love." What? Haha, very funny. No, you won't find it at "Love Zone," that's a totally different kind of store and a totally different kind of "self-love." But, you already knew that.)
I think we're done for this week's shopping list. The list will be on the fridge if you want to add anything before you go shopping, or if you see something you like I've put an extra $100 in your wallet so you can pick up a little something.
Author notes
Okay, not poetic, but three out of four ain't bad? Isn't that a song? Nope, that's two out of three ain't bad.

I'm sticking Cassie in a cage with bunnies and birdies and mices all just out of reach. I know it's a form of torture, but I'm sure she deserves it for one thing or another.
