Now I Know I'm getting soft
I have just read two posts back to back that have literally stopped time for me.
The first one was posted by Southern writer and the second by Mrs.C (Mayden)
I can't tell you just how difficult it was to be reminded of one part of my life by one person and to be praised about another part of my existence by another.
These two powerful women have always intrigued me and have made me feel that blogging be a worthwhile effort.
It is strange to step outside of oneself and take a gander at what the world sees.
it's even stranger to step back inside and be able to see yourself without the filters and facades of fallacy. Reminds me of the movie, Being John Malkovich.
Thank you both.
The women of the south must be amazing creatures.
No less intriguing than the daughters of Achelous.
No woman, No stomp.

I read both of those posts. Powerful stuff indeed. I'm not sure how I see myself today -- maybe just a little stranger than usual. Maybe I ought to go back to bed.:)
I'm the oldest of 6-
I read Southern Writers last post...and I understood, first hand.
You are special-
Thank you for your kind words here-
:)
What, no love for dudes from the arid Great Basin region of the Intermountain West? I have feelings you know.
I love you Grunt...
:)
You are a very special and inspiring monster, Scary. You give me courage to write things I would probably not write otherwise. You do it, and have touched us so many times with your wisdom, sensitivity, and character, and you are respected for it by all of us. I can only hope to grow up to be half the monter that you are.
It's not easy to make yourself vulnerable to the world. Unfortunately, with the post previous to the one you're referencing, I learned my older sister had been lurking on my blog for a year. She's so evil that I've had nothing to do with her and no contact with her for many years and intended it to stay that way. Now, if I have time to blog at all, I will be much more careful and controlled about what I write. I seriously contemplated whether or not to write about my current troubles for the world to see, but in the end, decided that if it helps other fledgling writers to understand this business is not all fun and games, that sometimes hearts are broken, and that not everyone makes it, then it's good they should know. It's all part of the reality of being a writer. Sad, but true.
Thank you for lifting me up today and helping me to feel I'm not "less than."
Its always interesting to find out how others see you. With blogging especially, since there is little to no personal interaction.
For instance, I have absolutely no real idea of who you are... what you are (lmao) or where you are. But reading your comments on other sites (and my own) as well as the comments other people that I respect have made about you, (ie Cora) I figure that you cant be as scary as you try to make yourself seem! *wink
Have a great weekend
Me think your grammar be improving!
STUMP.
SJ~ Tomorrow me go hunting for the car. Me will capture car!
Some times staying in bed ain't such a bad idea.

Cap'n Grunt~ Yesterday was totally gay Friday. Me shudda let me hair down and gone with the flow.
Southern~ Aw shucks, honey chile. You just do yer thang. You be real good at it.
Kate~ You are called plain Kate,
And bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the curst;
But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom
Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate,
For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate,
Take this of me, Kate of my consolation.
Mighty Dyckerson~ Yeah, but me be a recidivist, anachronism as well.
STOMP.
