On March 27th, 2008 I blogged that “today sucked”.  Well, lookee here.  One year later almost to the day and guess what?  Today sucked.

More later, maybe.

Ancient histories of pain…

March 16th, 2009

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of lonliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity.
In the flush of love’s light
we dare be brave
and suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
~ Maya Angelou

Plinky – Words that I dislike (they said “hate”, but I don’t like that word)

March 5th, 2009

Irregardless
It's not a real word!

Can't
I don't like it when people say they can't, especially when they haven't tried.

Octomom
Overused, unimaginative, comic-book-y.

Awkward
I never spell it right the first time, and well, it's awkward.

Everything is amazing, Nobody is happy

Saw this today on www.neatorama.com.  Had to share…

    About

    My name is Shari, just left my twenties and I finally feel "old enough". No kids, just a great husband who is different from me in just enough ways to keep it interesting. We don't have any pets, but reading through just a few posts will reveal that I'm obsessed with all things kitty related. What else? Born in the midwest, raised from age 6 out here in the Southwest, I love all things old fashioned, but I can't go a day without my google reader.
