Thank you....you sometimes see things in my writing I can't see even when I read it over.  I'm so glad you're back. :)  Yes, baby Taylor is just perfectly scrumptious and I can't wait to be rediculously silly with her at Thanksgiving.  Her parents will want to smack me, but I'm older and I will remind them of this. ;)

I think he was onto something, yes...sometimes it just takes a while to regain focus.  I'm sure I'll need to give myself a few reminder courses. ;)

Such powerful, visual writing. It always blows me away. I can just see you attacking the ice with nailfiles! Baby pic is soooo cute...

Temple,
I also like David's theory. I truly believe it, too.

Frankenkitty, I meant to say this down there.
I'm so glad he liked it.  Did it make him see anything from a different perspective?

I love writing this, so I'm glad you love reading it.  I forget the power of the mind and the spirit sometimes.  I am in a very powerful position now, regrouping....yes, I feel better.  Getting stronger physically.  Learning what I need to do for myself, well, remembering really.  And, being REALLY pissed off at Forsburg.  FUCKING PHILADELPHIA?  Greedy ass.  But, anyway, I owe you an email. :)  Ah, hockey.  I finally have my hostility outlet again, and they said Bettman is making a deal to make sure no matter where you live in the country you can see your team.  Yippie!  Although I hardly recognize my roster, dammit, but I'll learn to love them.  Yeah, I'll write ya. ;)

Ahhh, I love it when someone is feelin' it with me....it's great to see cracks in that thing.  Thanks for the kind words. :)  Glad you are feeling that shift, it makes all the work finally feel worth it.

Trust me, doll, the effort to continually get ourselves up off the floor and find the light and the joy is not easy....but after a while, it becomes automatic.  Then, something happens and knocks you for a loop, is worse than normal, and you learn all over again.  I'm not so motivated, but I am determined that all this work and persistance will lead somewhere good.  It's all inside you, everything you need.  Vision, determination, and irritation at current conditions.  Desire for more.  Sometimes where you are is where you need to be, and you just need to regroup...like going under the water, deep in the sea, looking for pieces of the puzzle.  When you resurface, you feel like the answers were there all along.  You can do it, be gentle with yourself and try to see what's around you.

I don't think you want this ice....been to 7-11? ;)  Stay cool. :)

Yes, all we have is the now...but my point is I'm still capable of shifting my life to be what I want it to be.  Thanks for the ice pick tip, but I didn't choose the nail file, it chose me. ;)  Universe has a helluva sense of humor. :)  I appreciate the comment.

Thanks, Frankenkitty, it would be nice if going through this has another

purpose and gives other people hope.  That is a sweet thing to say. :)  I will do something fun this weekend, I think.  It's time to shake things up around here.  You have a good weekend, too.

Will do.  If you see a special on metal nail files at Target or something, let me know. :)

I would love some ice here. It would melt rather quickly in this heat!

Looks like you are enjoying the"now"
after all NOW is all we have.
PS try an ice pick.

This was very positive and encouraging.
Your hard work encourages the people around you, and gives them hope. It's not a quality that everyone has.  Have a fantastic weekend- do something fun Take care!
