Yeah that would be poor iGypsy who cant afford Typepad any more :) But point taken!

Yep. Point 3. CC. Always with me and yet never. Still lost without him.

It would be if you HAD bingo wings, you freak :)

What, no flesh? :) You mean there is something in this world that you and I would BOTH enjoy eating??? Or does MSG actually stand for Medium Steak of Gerbil?

Um..it IS cucumber :) That's what happens when you blog with a five year old talking about Dr Who on your lap. Thanks for pointing it out :)

Well you would...you share hair :) Among other things.

And you're doing it with such STYLE sweetie :) Go #TwiCov!

Ah but youre Atomicmama.. a real life shero!

Will you just hurry up and GET here already :) x

I absolutely LOVE that there are still people reading from The Old Days - thats wonderful. I agree, these friendships are amazing. I dont know about Cowgirl and Ava but Evie and Alisas daughter are now Skype buddies so weve launched the next generation :) Is it just me or does 2006 feel an AWFUL long time ago :)?

Hi Kerstin, thanks so much for coming over and for subscribing. I think daydreaming is a powerful tool (my nickname as a child was Dolly Daydream and Ive stayed fairly true to type :) ). My meditation/daydream about my older self was a slow reveal. I think I started by noticing that she/I have dirt under my nails - hands and feet. The earth had become even more important than it is here and now. We dont so much need role models, although I think they can be fun for working with aspects of our personalities...I love a good warrior woman when I need to be more assertive. I think we just need to believe we can be remarkable and take it from there.

Oh that's a good timeline. Yes let's keep each other on track. I have my class lined up for Tuesday evenings and need to remember where I stashed my personal Marianne. xxx

Oh I hear ya. Cute! But so like my ex-SIL facially that my crush is somewhat subdued :)

Do it! I emailed a woman who teaches nearby and seems to be someone I'd like. She's expecting me Tuesday evening and Charlie knows not to book that time out. Pleeeeeeeeease don't let me get a migraine.

I'm in such early stages...I mean I'm not kidding about not being ready :)...but I'd love to talk to you soon. Thanks so much for commenting. I will, I'll be in touch.

Oh Mel I sooo love this response. And you have been a force of nature lately :)

Of course. What were doing in our heads, youre physically DOING. I can only imagine and sympathise!

Milena, I think it does us all good to know were not alone in the un-perkiness and the downbeat. Our time will come. Were moving through. Keep writing your stories :) x

Keeping company with you would be most excellent (and, Id bet, wed probably laugh a lot). Heres to breathing and living the crazy. x

Yknow what? We need a Miserable Bleeders Tweet-up in Bath or something. If we can be arsed :) xx

Thats so cool. I know exactly what you mean about the ten foot pole. I look at things I think I want and need and when theyre not really me I can sense that...um...yknow when you try to put two magnets together the wrong way? Yeah that. Its self-acceptance again and again eh? When we feel as if we need to be trying harder to be something better it all goes wrong. Maybe its enough for me to the person who loves being around dogs and making funny stuff in her tiny amounts of spare time and sitting with her chickens and gardening and (gasp) watching crap TV and drooling over Pinterest and snuggling with my daughter more than putting stuff on etsy or whatever. Maybe thats what the world needs of me. I love the days I can see this. There are so many that I cant but these good days...sweet. Im so glad youre finding it too.

Oh it was set-up that way :) He and Nell have beenfighting over who gets to lie in it ever since!

Its there for a while :)

:)

You have most excellent taste in cats. He rocks the whole world and the world says thank you.
