Who you are. At the bone. Lovely and lovable. It's ok to question the world at large and where we feel comfortable, fitting in. It would be really nice to share the lovely bone with someone. Still here, steady and willing to share their lovely bone too. It's all about that base. Things in life do happen. It changes us in big ways. Things we can't control. So why not enjoy someone lovely and see what comes next. No need to fear and worry. It quite possibly be the best that's yet to come. Simply open the door and welcome in!

Just plain true. We all have those days. When all we can do is look up:). Nice work.

Thanks.

I don't know why I feel I must POST something. It's not a day... I'm broken. I have to break completely before I can mend.

Maybe because you are a real human being. Facade less 😳

It's not a "facade," really. I'm a humorist, since high school, it's been Dog Jokes for like over 40 years. It's one side of my art, I'm an artist. Obviously, I don't have a problem saying what I think in REAL language. I do the humor because it comes naturally, and because I believe, and people tell me it's so for them, that we need to laugh. I'm not AFRAID to express myself... get to know me a bit... I'm not afraid of much of anything! I know you mean well, and thanks for that, and if I stop being funny, I will have to shut off a big part of who I am. The past two years have been truly HELL. If I don't do my funny dog dance, I will probably implode. You're not the only person telling me what to do, I know it's a response, but it's just not your place to do that. Hugs.

That helps... xo

I was just going to email you about our chat today... I may not be home by 4, I'll see.

I need to get out of here for a while and walk in Nature and just I don't know, get outta here.

If I don't call by 5, we can reschedule for Monday or whatever.

Sorry, I'm really having a hard day.

It's what we feel, not the quality of the prose... It's what's in our hearts that matters most. xo
