Both on Monday and today I've sat at this computer and become tearful...
over things that were said, and things that weren't said-
Over people I know- and people I don't know.
Over people I love.
Not all are bloggers...and most are friends.
Sometimes I'm a mush- I know that.
Often times- the words you share with the world hang around in my heart. Is that a bad thing?
Sometimes I pray for you...
The losses in your world are no different than the losses in my own...this is why we connect.
And yet- we are scattered.
Last night I had dinner with a friend I have not seen in years and years. We were very good freinds as children- one of our childhood group has already died. We've yet to reach 40.
Such is life~
We run and run and run. Missing the chance to say to say "I love you".
-
The world is full of evil things- and of things that are hard for me to understand...
but "Love"-
there's a concept I can grasp.
-
And yet- Love is vast...just as I think I've grasped it- grabbed a handful of it's fur, or feathers, or fluff of cloud- it grabs me and pulls me in. I'm surrounded by it on all sides...and something or someone chuckles quietly inside, "Sweetheart...did you really think you had a handle on THIS?"
I have to laugh too...silly me.
But...it's a nice place to be, if only for a little while. Wrapped up- surrounded- insulated for just a while, before I have to return to the grind of the world.
-
I'll be quiet now...for as long as I can bear it.

Sometimes a break is what we need. Take care of yourself, Cora.
hello my little pudding pop

some joke
harde har har
i feel ya, and maybe will just step back too.
came by to say hello
we all need to step back at times, have a time out, face the grind of the world head on. it's hard though..:)...keeping quiet..on the computer, that is.
Don't go far or long...
Mrs.C.Me is agreeing with all here. Get yourself a glass of wine and a sumptuous foot massage, close yer eyes and f'get the world fer a while. You'll feel better for it.
(softly) STOMP.
You are in my heart and prayers. I get very sensitive as well and need to retreat. You do what you need. You are loved, very much so.
big Big BIG HUGS!!
...and I know you will be back to the computer before long...
because it's a circle of friendship, too--and we love you--
Don't be gone long... rest, relax , recuperate, and return.
some things are on me' mind as well...
Luxie

Mayden -
You are such a great inspiration to so many. Take your time and do whatever you need to refill - return soon and rest now.

Its good to take a breath and recenter yourself. Everyone will be here when you get back. Sending love and hugs your way.
xoxo

Please don't leave us. You brighten up the blogs you visit. If you need some time out, we'll just have to understand, but you do brighten things up. So don't stay away long.
Hope you are feeling more chipper, miss you already!!
Libby- thank you-
Pug, you really are sweet :)
Crash- If you only knew how much I've laughed going through the shoes in my closet for you! :)
Phos...I'm 37! 37! 37! Jeesh...I'm hanging on to it for dear life man! 39???? LOL :)

One smile I've gotten has been reading Percy's page and your comments to him- oh girl...you are the best! :) Firebird is keeping him on his toes too!
Little Lamb- Darlin'- what a sweetheart you are...thank you:)
Phos- I am better- the family is finally well (we've been sick)

Love is a 350 yard drive, and a 7-iron 4 feet from the pin.
But be careful...you could still "F" up the putt.
