Dear MomWriterStudent,

If wearing sunglasses helps you, then wear them and don't give a hoot about what others think. (just don't wear them in a bank - use the drive-up) Banks think you are in disguise and are going to rob them. My bank recently put a sign on the entrance door that you must remove sunglasses and ball caps before entering.

When I first began needing to use those motorized carts in the grocery store, I found it embarrassing. I would struggle to make it through the store on my own two feet until the pain was so bad that I had NO choice. It took a little time for me to adjust but now I just don't care what anyone thinks.

My attitude adjustment about the thoughts others MAY be having is no longer my concern. People will think what they think, not MY problem or concern any more. I just do what I need to do.

Why do we care so much what others (especially strangers) think anyway???
