Side o' the Road
Heading to go ‘camping’. In an RV, with two dogs, trailing a motorcycle and a jetski. The left rear tire just blew out. “It’s fucking shredded, Deb!” is all I can really understand. We crawled to the next exit and there is a man jacking up the RV with some sort of John Deere equipment. I feel like we may be here awhile and I forgot my Kindle.

Anyway by Mother Teresa
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy...

The Invitation by Oriah
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon… I want to know if you have touched the...

CHRISTMAS TREES
Gift-laden all
great trees and small;
these, surely, these
are Christ’s, Christ’s trees.
Spring’s pregnant hour
bears leaf, bears flower,
Which He transmutes
to summer fruits.
October’s flame
burns with His name.
Fir trees and spruce
await His use.
High on its hill
one lone tree will
its great boughs lift
with Christ for gift.

I hate you, November 17th. You were cruel to me since the moment I awoke. I never want to see you again. I was going to list the mishaps but I’d like to forget them instead. Mama said there’d be days like this.
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. —Mother Teresa
Conference Day
I threw up a couple times this morning. I hate conference day. Even after eight years of doing this, I still DREAD this day….2 down….23 to go….Stay Tuned for details on bitchy moms in lululemon and crabby dads in sweater vests.

Forgetfulness
--Billy Collins
The name of the author is the first to go
followed obediently by the title, the plot,
the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel
which suddenly becomes one you have never read, never even heard of,
as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor
decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain,
to a little fishing village where there are no...

Season 2 Finale
Dear Betty, I’m sitting in the Roosevelt looking at the backs of Bobby and Sally’s heads as they watch TV. I’m not letting them change the channel because watching the news makes me sick and they can see it. I think about you and how I behaved and my regret. I know it’s my fault that you are not here right now. I think about tomorrow where you’ll be and the day after...
