Where Are You? Where Are You?
Please...please...all of you who get in touch with me after reading a blog entry here, and teasing me with a comment or two...Please, tell me how to get in touch with you....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!! Lauren S.....assuming you read these pages regularly enough to know when to return a comment after reading one of my entries....tell me how to reach you, other than through these pages...I miss you! Tell me more! And all the others of you: tell me how to find you! Please?
I have begun to also write an entry or two at a place called www.opensalon.com ...i am listed there as "chancetochange"...find me there, if you wish to...i want to do more literary writing there and so far it's not going too well...I feel so stilted...when I know i am going to write something for people to read...i get all wordy and stupid. And I hate it. I even hate the process, which i usually adore...it feels so hard when I know i want to impress people. Isn't that always the way?
Here, on these blog pages, i feel so free and care-less...though I've made the decision to not mention specific names and places to save censure from others,etc. I still feel more free here...when i write to impress, i disappear...so the title above (Where Are you? Where Are You?) so easily applies to me when I write badly.
It's been grey, snowing and raining here lately...lovely winter weather...and I have not really minded it at all, since it, at least, is a change, something different. And today, I met with Book Club ladies to talk about some projects I need their help with...and they were all terrific and powerful and creative women....I'm glad to have met them...this community continues to astonish.... every day i learn something new about it.
Peter and I are spending a lot of time down in our basement den, with the fireplace lit, the lamps lit too...and the puppies snuggling with us to a "fare-thee-well" as my momma used to say...Peter and i simply become larger canines in the pack who supply the food and accept cuddling as our due, and Sally and Cyrano treat us like their absolute love slaves...we certainly don't mind: we love the softness of these two dogs far too much to not love each and every cuddle moment. Whatever I did in a former existence to deserve such love..well, I am glad. Because these two pups know how to love: BIG LOVE...it's not like the HBO series (or is it Showtime?) dealing with polygamy, unless you call loving two dogs at the same time polygamous....polycanine-omous....one's love for the canine population of this earth....yeah, we cuddle like it's an addiction. And it is my firm conviction that dogs are the world's best creatures. Indisputably.
