Joining The Gratitude Bandwagon!

        Okay, okay...normally I try to avoid jumping out there to share gratitude at this time of year.  Call me a rebel if you wish...maybe I am.  But I think this time, I actually have one that I've needed to embrace this year.  So okay, let's go...

So... Now What?

        Come on in!  Don't be shy!

        Don't mind the bits and pieces of broken posts here and there; I've been in a bit of a mess since I learned to breathe, but hopefully things will smooth out and my thoughts will come out clean and clear, free of dyes and unnecessary perfumes, the way I would like them, soon enough!

        Can it really be soon enough?

A Memory, And A Realization...Or Two

        And today, another kind of memorial.

        No, I don't plan on sharing every, single memory of every, single event of this time of year, but in these two cases, they reflect things that are a huge part of why and how this blog even came to be, and since they are things that do not intrude on the privacy of other, living people, I feel I can, and possibly should, share them.

I Will Remember (and Quietly Celebrate) You.

It's just a matter of life and death.  Don't take it so seriously.

                                                     Seriously.

Waits, Weights, Measures and Letting Go

        Dang; how on earth do you let go of something so silly, yet clings to emotional memory and smacks you in the heart, every time something reminds you of it?
