Thank-you. So many thank-yous.<br /><br />Mel- Mr. Natural is one of my heroes. <br /><br />May- Every time I even THINK about what you said, I cry again. I know. I know. Oh, my heart. <br />I love you so many infinite infinites.<br /><br />Syd- I'll come up with something soon you can get riled up about. I promise. <br /><br />silverfinofhope- I am a woman of many interests. Haha!<br /><br />Bethany- One part of me agrees and one part of me thinks I am just a fat lazy-ass. Sigh. I am working at it though, trying to not think that way. I love you, baby.<br /><br />Mel's Way- I wish she could have. She had to abandon the swim but dammit, she sure gave a great shot- twenty-nine hours of swimming. Jesus. <br /><br />Ms. Bastard-Beloved- You make every day of my life better. Do you know that?<br /><br />Saja- Really? You're funny. Flat-tire/gluten poisoning. Okay. I'll give it grave consideration. But, wait...doesn't beer have gluten? Forget it. Sorry.<br /><br />Mwa- I am too prolific. Don't even try to read all that mess. I love you!

I find it oddly appropriate that that number could make me giggle inappropriately. Not that it does, but it could.<br />Not sure what I'm meaning to say other than glad to be visiting, and I will be reading the other 67 posts asap.<br />I have been thinking many similar thoughts to the ones you describe. About the published authors etc. I'll write about it when I feel brave enough. I'm hoping tomorrow.<br />Big kiss to youMwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954216492730746581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-89479695084390454672011-08-09T10:38:00.950-04:002011-08-09T10:38:00.950-04:00Being lazy and fairly useless myself, I can't ...Being lazy and fairly useless myself, I can't address those concerns...but GLUTEN! I have drunk the kool-aid. Six months gluten free and the antibodies my body inexplicably produced which murdered my thyroid are no longer detectable in my body. It's the only thing I changed. I'll be on thyroid hormone replacement pills for life because gluten-free does not regrow bits of your insides. But my body has stopped needlessly attacking that already kaput part of itself. Granted it is a terrible sacrifice for someone who loves food (good homemade bread, gah!) but maybe experiment with a month or so? Again, I'm on the kool-aid so I tell everybody that their problems can be fixed this way. You say "Oh no! I have a flat tire!" and I say "OMG DUDE STOP EATING GLUTEN IT IS POISONZZZZ!"Sajahttp://www.nursingbuddha.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-30320276049327439352011-08-09T09:21:04.414-04:002011-08-09T09:21:04.414-04:00Why do we have to judge ourselves by how much we g...Why do we have to judge ourselves by how much we get accomplished for the damn day? Can't we rather judge ourselves by how much we enjoy the day? Thoreau would have said there was far more merit in that than in joining the damn rat race.

My BFF in grad school (MFA) was 67, Eleanor Taylor Ross didn't publish until her late 50s or 60s and spent the bulk of her life cooking and keeping house for her professor husband--and you? YOU are writing what I've needed to hear for ages, the recognition that a life like this, ordinary and extraordinary, luminous and corporeal, shot through with anxiety and those mofos in the 10 or fewer line (I.HATE.THEM.TOO.)and grace: that this life matters. I firmly, firmly believe that you (and lots of your very very wonderful followers too) are doing very important work, writing about this normal, human, female life.Ramona Quimbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308882206677929003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-26860698857168331792011-08-08T20:56:41.785-04:002011-08-08T20:56:41.785-04:00Mel- See above.

Seriously, you are my Guru, and you can beat your self up (although I don't really see it that way) or pat yourself on the head - I don't care. Because all that comes out of your mouth is LOVE. Under, over and woven around all your words is the sweetest most human LOVE I've ever seen.<br />I wish your were my mother, my sister, my best bud. In 20 years filled with the most miserable and hopeless pain, you have managed to turn on a light that I had almost, almost lost hope in.<br /><br />God, you are beautiful, you are sooooooooo beautiful. I can only hope that I can get to that kind of truth in my life too.<br /><br />Kisses and blessings to you and so many thanks for being here on this earth and sharing yourself.
