Boundaries

Sometimes I recognize the need for emotional boundaries: an eight-foot-tall electrical fence would be good!

Make It Happen

The man with whom I fall in love will definitely have to be someone who can make things happen. At my best, most positive moments, I just want to embrace all the good there can be in life (yes, mostly good things for myself, but also good things with and for others)! After all, why hesitate? God sends all good gifts our way for us to accept and therefore take delight in His mercy. There will always be time for prayer. I want to do things!

A Mini-Feeling

I have felt this way before. I remember this feeling, only this time it's a smaller feeling than it was the other times. Though it appears still to affect the pit of my stomach, I have plenty of wind in my sails. It's funny how feelings vary in intensity, or degree, though they are the same in kind. The tears are behind my eyes, not in them. The smile remains on my face. Still, I feel it.

In My Hair

I found something in my hair just now. I didn't know what it was. It was small and somewhat sticky. It could have been a small number of things, none of them particularly pleasant, but the most benign option is that it was a drop of hardened peach jalapeno jam. I really don't know. I took it out.

Simile

It was tough to swallow, like a piece of Swiss cheese which you've melted in the microwave but which has since partially cooled and congealed.
