I needed a moment to put things in perspective and to project what I do want out of life. Unfortunately it wasn’t going so well and I kept thinking about a boy and my lack of strength where he is concerned. Eyes closed, head back- I could feel myself slipping back to a place where I second guess everything and lose confidence in who I am. I looked up and realized that someone is on my side.
And much needed, because it’s my turn to select a challenge for the KWC. So many ideas are playing leap frog around my brain…
The Amazon: Best of the Month of March list of books is out, and there are short story compilations on it! Oh (excuse me while I do my lame but delightful happy dance) how I love short stories, and there are a few old names on the list, as well: Mary Gaitskill and Jason Brown are at it again, and though I haven’t read Don’t Cry and Why the Devil Chose New England for His Work, I have been enchanted by their earlier reads. My Chase/Amazon points just went up a little more…
Today is a roller coaster ride for me. I need to find myself a sweetly decorated cave to crawl into for a couple of days until things are normal again…
but i do love roller coasters

Can the sweetly decorated cave you wish to retreat to be my house at some point next week? I mean, I know that the decor is really lacking and it sure could use a good spru...(um...can't spell that right now)...cleaning up. But it will be warm and friendly and you can even bring Newman if you want! I'm sure Nalla would love him!
Oh - and I wanted to thank you for allowing me to work on those invitations. It's really made me remember how much I enjoy other things besides domestication!
I have had many an experience like the one you describe, esp. in my twenties, where i went out alone in pain and felt the comfort of the great big world
xo
