Every Day

I know they can't all be blue ribbon, banner days.

But once in a while you get one like that and am I the only one who tries to camel up and store all that good lovely happiness inside? It fills you, from just under the skin to your epicenter, alive and growing and embracing every cell inside you until you are just about to burst from all the goodness... I wish it could last, that feeling.

It doesn't work but I can try to take mental snapshots and refer back to them later... I am fortunate to have them at all, and I know it... but I am starved for those moments, and greedy for them.

Once I have a few under my belt, it is hard to let go of the circumstances which facilitate them... even if I know I will have them again...

I still wish every day guaranteed us a few moments like that. Is that wrong?

Breathe

In. And out.

Repeat.

No matter how unsavory the proposition.

This has been a public service announcement, blah blah. Blah. BLAH.

Celebrate

Happy Birthday, Snarling!

Yep. Feelin' Groovy.

Well, why not?

Thank U

So.... yeah.

So many of you have been extremely supportive and helpful and wonderful to me for a long time. Some of you are newer at it than others.

But you've each been so spectacularly THERE for me recently, in so many ways, with unflinching selflessness that I wanted to thank you in a very public way.

For all of it.

Really.

Feel the love, y'all.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

I'm sorry - but is this or is this not LATE MAY?

It is. Right.

And is it or is it not COLD?

Shouldn't we be breaking out the short sleeves and being able to forego socks and layers by now? I mean, I am not a fan of the heat , much preferring to bundle and layer, but if I've prepared myself for spring, which I have, then this chilly snap is really pretty annoying.

And that is all I have to say about that.
