Musings

Sitting here with my fingers poised over the keys, I realized what a relief it is to be here. Knowing that you will read these words -- whatever you may think or feel about them -- is somehow so validating. I've been in a bit of an ugly place for the past little while, and you guys provide me with so much that is meaningful to me! Not just that you come here, but knowing I can go visit you and be completely relieved of my own life for that period of time, transported to the places where your words take me on any given day. This is a gift that you've collectively given me, and today, especially, I'm grateful.

Speaking of today, Deb is really at a low spot. I know, many of you already make yourselves at home over there on a pretty regular basis, and you visit lots of other sites that send you her way. I won't ask you to go, I'll just mention that she's in a bad spot, and if you are moved by that sort of thing, you'll probably head on over to see what you can do by way of amusing comment or support. Because I've learned that you folks are that way. One of the many reasons I keep blogging.

Thanks.
