thoughts on Love 101

1

Remember to write and to call.
Say only what's true at the core
or say nothing at all.

2

Hold fast to those who're in pain
who after they've lost all they had
still smile and banish the rain,

3

Let thy actions speak louder than words
for in chaotic cacophonous times,
they'll always be welcomed and heard.

4

Acknowledge both birth and the grave.
Between be a lover or friend,
be true to your heart, not a slave.

Love 101 was the prompt ... but who was it from here at WDC who suggested it? Anyone know?

BLAH Blaah blaaah:

I will try to take care of myself today, I promise. I was slightly ill yesterday and mostly stayed home (skipped writing group ), only getting out to buy bread, get some fresh air, a coffee at Bernice's.

Today, I may as well read. Although, Bernice's has heart shaped hazelnut-red jelly Linzer cookies that are one of my favorites. A link: http://www.joyofbaking.com/LinzerTorte.html

I may end up stuck inside today; although, the sun is out. So I'll listen to this old western song and imagine other times and places. Eddy Arnold's "The Cattle Call": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbPcH5caOJU&feature=related

NOT GOOD GNU'S:

The plane crash in Clarence, New York un-nerves me because: I grew up by that airport, my sister (just west) and mother (north) still live near, I know people in Clarence, it wouldn't surprise me if I know someone who died (albeit a slim chance). I told Fivesixer to not watch the news ... but he turned on the tv before going to bed (not a smart thing, Bert). He lives close to the airport too (south).

When I was in college in Kansas there was a crash on the street behind a friend's home in Cheektowaga. Family of friends saw the plane go down. It was even on the news in Kansas! I was frantic calling home to make sure they were okay.

BLOGVILLE

I never quite become accustomed to the ebb and flow around here. Blog-Reading was definitely off yesterday although I myself read many many entries. Over time it evens out, but when I get down I wonder whether it is worth the effort to be supportive. Then I get over it.

So go read yesterday's entry!
