When Do You Get Dressed?

Jim Bauer @porwest (98457) • United States 29 Mar

jaishankar Like you I'm an early riser; too. Usually I feel comfortable in casual cloths. I get dressed just before I open my store. It is around 8.30 a.m. In summer I wear light dresses.

Do what you can.

Judy Story @jstory07 (142731) • Roseburg, Oregon 24 Mar

Do what you can in anyway, anyplace and at anytime. For all the people that you can. As long as you can. Help those who need you and you will feel good for helping others when you can. That is what all of us should do.

jaishankar I agree. That's what life wants from us. In fact; that's the meaning of life. Doing something good no matter where you are; how you feel is living the life in true sense of the term.

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (7463) • Calcutta, India 22 Mar
