Ask Al A Carte

Dear Al A. Carte,

I tend to take every single thing very seriously and when annoying things happen, it hurts me very badly. How do I prioritize difficulties, so I can smile when it rains?

Short Fuse

Dear Fuse,

Keep your PIEorities in perspective.

Key Lime Pie

½ cup lime juice

1 medium container Cool Whip

1 graham cracker pie crust

Mix lime juice and milk until thickened.  Fold in Cool Whip.  Pour filling into pie crust and freeze for at least 2 hours.  Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Write a list of things that make you happy, and have it ready to read when life gets you down. Remember, when the rain stops, everything is clear and bright again.
