 | If you were in the path of the superstorm, I hope your life is starting to get in order again. Be careful to take your meds correctly, and if you're frazzled or depressed and have to make important decisions, get help from someone you trust who is able to remain calm and objective. My best wishes! | |

Has it helped you? Share your feelings and experience.

(It's backed with another song, "You Were Only Foolin'," that I used to go around singing a lot when I was a kid.) Read the story of Connie Francis.
