They're a lot less dangerous to pick. <br /><br />Elizabeth- Every day seems fairly profound to me. I do tend to overthink things but god, sometimes my heart just grows so tender when I think about the life I get to lead. <br /><br />Beth Coyote- You know, I adore you so. I want to get glasses like yours. Would you mind? <br /><br />Mel- And I love you! Today was not bad.<br /><br />Sweet Jo- I should have named Nicey Sweet Jo. I'm sorry your comment didn't come through. That makes me sad. <br /><br />Stephanie- You are welcome, dear!<br /><br />Steve Reed- I am exactly with you on the Joni Mitchell albums. I love Court And Spark but Blue can never be replaced in my heart. <br /><br />Jo- Not sure why the boy is aware of napkins but I'm glad he is. Gibson is still completely oblivious.

(I'm on the fence about whether it's better than Blue, but I tend to side with Blue, I must confess.)<br /><br />Reading this, I think I've answered my question on your next post -- that this is a more generalized anxiety, perhaps not arising from any conscious thought process at all. I'm sorry it's back.

And hopefully it'll recede and you'll be a little sandy and out of breath but intact just the same. You know it wasn't until I started getting some relief from my anxiety that I could really see it for what it was, and even now I know that when it settles (at least, in those times that it's not overwhelming and chest-crushing), it isn't real and it isn't forever and there is life outside of it and I belong to that life. So do you. <br /><br />Spring is weird; all this new life (all this sex! my old creative writing teacher used to exclaim. "Spring is the most pornographic of the seasons!") but I also find it unsettling. <br /><br />Oh hell, i guess I find all the seasons unsettling.<br /><br />Hope you continue to feel better.
