So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

And I kept saying "Not having something horrible happen to you doesn't mean you don't have to deal with your own stuff. It's OK if things are difficult for you, even if others have it worse. Their worse blows don't lessen your own's".

I think I need to tattoo this to myself at this point.

Also, long words or short words, I am always happy to see your pixels.

Our wings are not tired.

First, happy birthday wishes for Hil. I hope that you are feeling better and that your campus is calm. May this day and the year to come be filled with blessings.

So much this. Someone always has it worse, and having compassion for their pain doesn't eliminate yours. Someone always has more joy, celebrate them while embracing your own joy.

Went to Miami Beach yesterday to see a friend visiting from Vegas. She is going on a big 50th Hip-Hop cruise. Tons of celebs. The entire huge ship is chartered for the event. Driving through Miami and Miami Beach is no fun, but I had a couple of Cuban coffees and then we went to her hotel room where she gave us a fashion show of all the outfits she brought. She brought 2 bags and was still overweight and had to pay another $100. I think she had 6 pairs of shoes. She cracks me up. We have been friends for decades but she is my polar opposite. The bottom line, it was worth the drive and the absurd parking fees.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Juliana, seconding what meara said. Kids create so much more chores. I never expect to be at the end of our list.

This weekend was my mother’s birthday and TCG and my 13th wedding anniversary! We’ll have been together 19 years this December. We went to a play by ourselves (True West) and then went to dinner with Mom, stepdad, and ltc. Yesterday we went and looked for some furniture pieces at a couple consignment/antique stores.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, and happy birthday to Hil!

My family took me out for breakfast at my favorite restaurant in town, and then my kids made me a really terrific key lime pie.
