The past four months of my life have bee the heaviest times of my life for many reasons. I will not get into details here but I have had virtually all the life sucked out of me in this time.
Yesterday the weight lifted like a hallowed crack in the ominous thunderclouds that have loomed over me persistently. A simple thing filled with freedom and hints of promise. No real direction really but the dead end just provided a small trail back to life. I have smiled a real smile that has cracked the plaster cast of my visage and it hurts so good.
Of course there are many things still weighing on me right now but hope has returned to my life like the electric company just restored my lights. There are no guarantees, no contractual agreements but there is the ability to begin anew, complete with some form of forgiveness.
The clouds have burst and the sun is shining through, I have to go outside now, life is waiting for me, and I so do need to skip to and fro in this glorious first day of the rest of my life.
So if you see a madman, prancing about with a smile to shame the Cheshire cat just smile because it could happen to anyone... maybe you are next?

... yeah because it would be just horrible if we had to see you all bubbly & happy all the time...

Bask in it like a lizard in sun,
roll in it like cat to catnip,
devour it as a child eats candy
& absorb it like the hungry ground takes rain.

It's your joy.

Sometimes I wonder when I bought that ticket for some of the greatest friends a person can have lottery... Because with you guys I sure as hell know I won!!!

Thanks very much but you are not helping the smiling thing and my cats can't handle much more of the teeth thing. Their hair is already standing up and I think their eyes and mouths are starting to dry out from all the staring and hissing...angel
