oh wait, one other thing ....

It's October 1st! And October is breast cancer awareness month. (Yeah, as if you didn't know that already - ha!) I'll be the first to admit that my view of October, pink ribbons, etc. has changed immensely over these past few months. Yes I used to think it was overkill. Yes I got tired of seeing it and hearing about it. But no, I could not relate personally. Let's just say I knew OF breast cancer, and people who had it . . . . but I didn't KNOW breast cancer. And now it's personal. I am on a breast cancer message board where we were just discussing our different viewpoints on this issue. I love pink, I always have. Now I enjoy seeing the variety of merchandise in the stores. I look at it, I browse through it, and I wonder what some people think when they see that. I consider that it might be the first time they can put a face with the cause. And I smile.
