Except clean sheets, right out of the dryer. Those are still wonderful.

 

[UnquietDreams]

Absolutely a mood.

This has never happened in my library. But I still keep a library, just in case.

"In youth, it was a way I had
To do my best to please,
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.
But now I know the things I know,
And do the things I do;
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you!"

--"Indian Summer," Dorothy Parker

I have always loved that quote.

I have always loved that quote.

Yeah, covers a LOT of ground in a very short sentence.

There are things that will always remind me of a person -- a scent, the line from a song, a flavor. And things they said that still echo around my mind with perfect fidelity, and words you can't take back. All of it, good and bad, bringing a smile or maybe even threatening a tear. And that is okay, that is life, that is...things I refuse to define. But I am a believer in "deal with it and move on." It is an outstanding strategy and it usually works. However...

However...

However, sometimes you don't "get over it" -- you can't. Rather you pack it up and carry it with you, a part of you forever, and, eventually, you no longer notice the weight.

This is much like the grieving process....
The weight eventually just becomes part of you...

Exactly. It was something that originally came to me while grieving, but it covers a lot, especially when it feels like grieving anyway.

I say that!

I say that!

I’ve subscribed to that philosophy for about 12 years now. Solid logic!
