Accident forces mom to reorder her priorities
DEAR ABBY: I have always believed my
home and family are a reflection of
me. My spotless home and my chil
dren defined me as a success. When
an auto accident left me in traction
and unable to leave my bed, I learned
a new definition of success.
A special neighbor who had
recently graduated from college was
job-hunting without much luck.
Every morning she would come over,
get my kids ready for school and
clean my while I lay in bed feeling
sorry for myself. The one thing I was able to
do from my bed was talk to my children. I
read to them every night at bedtime. For the
first time, I listened to them without distrac
tion. I heard them laugh. I held them when
they cried. I didn’t think about dirty dishes or
laundry I just thought about them. In other
words. I was a real mom for the first time in
their lives. When I was finally able to get out
of bed and do things for myself, I wrote a
long letter of gratitude to my neighbor and
tucked it into her pocket as she left. Imagine
my surprise when she showed up at my door
bright and early the next morning. Over cof
fee, she tearfully told me how much helping
me had meant to her. She had been consider
ing suicide because she didn’t feel she had a
purpose in life. Helping me gave her a pur
pose and snapped her out of her depression.
Abby, I have learned many things from
this experience. I have learned that smiles on
my children’s faces are far more important
than shiny floors and sparkling windows. I
have also learned that giving help is as impor
tant as receiving it. My house may not be as
clean as it was before, but my children will
never have to compete with housework again.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(January 25). You are
enough! You don't have to add
anything —just subtract your
fear. Finances improve in
February when you ask clients
what they need and supply it.
You may find you’ve been a
little off track for years, but
your correction now will bring
in much-improved numbers.
Love brings you one fabulous
treat after another, including
travel. Your lucky numbers
are: 1,11,50,34 and 28.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Meet a financial obligation
this afternoon to avoid late
fees. Contribute to a friend
ship with a distant pal; it
keeps you grounded. A
romantic interest’s compli
ments are sincere. An age dif
ference is unimportant to a
relationship.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Close friends offer true love
and support. Events unfold
naturally, and impatience will
only mess up the rhythm.
Share what you know at a
chatty brunch. Even those
who are usually shy will open
up. A Sagittarius inspires you.

DEAR THANKFUL: Thank you for sharing
I Jeanne Phillips
years ago, leaving my mother alone after 49
years of a wonderful marriage. My sister and I
helped Mom move into an assisted-living facil
ity where she has adjusted as well as can be
expected.
My dad worked hard, saved well, and left
Mom with no financial concerns. Our dilemma
is that Mom, a very trusting person, has now
befriended a man who is a known con artist.
This man has been in severe financial trouble
for more than 20 years and has asked Mom for
a large sum of money, which she agreed to
give him. He also informed her that this sum of
money may not be enough to resolve his prob
lems.
Abby, this man has been caught in several
lies, but Mom insists she’s doing the right
thing. We are certain he intends to drain Mom
of 50 years of hard work and savings. How can
we help her? We need to help her understand
this man’s true motives. We both love her dear
ly-
WORRIED SICK IN ALABAMA
DEAR WORRIED SICK: Warn your moth
er’s attorney about what’s going on, and if nec
essary, call the police. A con man who smells
money has as much conscience as a shark who
smells blood in the water, and it appears your
mother is in over her head. Please don’t wait.
Under the stars ’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Communication is mostly on
subtle, psychic levels.
Acknowledge what people
don’t say as much as what
they say. Feelings count, and
the fastest way to change
someone’s mind is to accu
rately sum up where he or she
is now.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Bring past experience to
bear on new situations.
Passion returns to marriage if
you go along with your
mate’s ideas. Singles meet in
a crowd. Denial is dangerous.
Seeing the truth gives you
more choices.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Your most recent project will
get an enthusiastic response.
Now that you have accom
plished your part, hand it
over to those in charge of the
next phase. Your need for
meaningful commitment will
be satisfied by a Taurus.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Good news in matters that
have worried you gives you
an energetic burst. Now that a
health concern is cleared up,
get ready for challenging
work assignments. Share
your success with a mentor.
Romance sizzles.
LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 23).
What matters most to chil
dren is seeing how much you
care. Brilliant progress on the
financial front happens when
you listen to more than one
opinion, take advice seriously
and do your own research,
too.
the insight you have gained. It
seems the auto accident was a life
changing experience, not only for
you, but also for those around you.
I agree, your house may not be as
tidy as it was before your accident,
but your priorities are now in
order, and that’s far more impor
tant.
DEAR ABBY: My dad died two
SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov.
21). You’re in full swing, with
renewed confidence and ener
gy. Inventiveness puts you in
good graces with authority.
Let a child make a tough deci
sion, but be there for the con
sequences. Shop to improve
the homestead.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). A challenge makes
you uneasy until you confront
your fear. Romance blooms in
an unexpected comer. Keep
your feet on the ground.
You’re a bit vulnerable to sug
gestion now listen only to
the wise.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). It isn’t enough to smile
and giggle at someone you
have a crush on; engage in an
intelligent conversation. A
family member asks for a
favor that is too costly to you
one way or another. If you say
“no” early, it’s easier.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’re tougher than
usual. Anyone who snakes out
of an agreement with you
now will need some pity!
Confrontation can clear the
way to peace. Instead of
doing your best to keep this
monster at bay, invite it in for
tea.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Money is connected to sur
veys and interviews. An old
adversary re-appears much
changed. An afternoon with a
romantic interest is restful,
which proves you don’t have
to constantly impress this per
son with lavish dates.
