Whatever you need, msbelle. It's here for you.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Our wings are not tired.
I wish there was more we could do, msbelle. Mac is blessed to have a woman with your strength as his mother.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Absolutely.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, that`s the great thing about `ffistas. We`re the support group that goes with you.
In trivial news, I`m watching tivo of the Blackhawks game, but it`s the Minnesota Wild station feed. So far there`s been an ad for how well Toyota AWD cars drive in snow, one for ice fishing clothing, and one where the hotel rate is the previous day`s temperature. I think it might be cold up there.

Random: I've been going through boxes of shelves, candleholders and such and been reluctant to hang them. They're nice, my style, etc. But I'm leaving them alone. Why?
And I thought a bit and it because they were in some sense a means of making temporary home. For 12 yrs. But the thing is, my home, my house? Isn't temporary any longer. Even with bare walls, it suits me perfectly. I look back at what I posted upon seeing it, emails, and oh lord, I was so gone. So I'm giving more thought. Sure, it's mine, I can change it. But this is a part of the new life that's been crafted in the past year and I'm disinclined to clutter it from old just because I have it available. I may even part with stuff that made my old home home. Because with this home, it is HOME, all caps, without most of the stuff. There's new to be done. I don't need to carve my mark into white walls. These walls are mine, and the years before.
It's odd.

Oh, dude I seriously relate. There`s barely anything on the walls because...okay I don`t know the because. Because I don`t have to. Because it`s already home, under the trappings of home. But I have a special shelf for my grandmother`s teapot. And it`s in daily use too because it can be. Love.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Wishing you easier times ahead, msbelle.

Yeah, the critical stuff got up. It's just the stuff that wasn't emotional, just me, that didn't. Emotional:I've got my artwork from friends, batiks from Africa, stones from Prague. And I want the images from Bhutan and Nepal and the quilt in the rubbermaid hanging in the stairwell...but the latter are recent. The other stuff? I dunno. Maybe it'll find a home. Maybe not. Most of the stuff emotionally important to me got unpacked, placed and quick.
