Here's my favorite on grief: 'Grief is the price we pay for love' - Tom Batiuk ('Funky Winkerbean' cartoonist, in an interview about about allowing one of his characters to die from breast cancer). I am chronically un-ordered. I've blogged a bit about it a couple of times; mostly just grousing about it. The core of it is still unexamined...but I strongly suspect it's a fear issue. And I *know* better than to be afraid. But there it is. Hi back! ;) I keep a quote journal too!

And maybe it's a good thing that we don't. Keeps us "loose," I suspect. I'm going to try. You’re right, Lisa, of course. And maybe it’s a good thing that we don’t. Keeps us “loose,” I suspect.

Most of the time we don't acknowledge it, though. I'm glad you've posted again. None of us know what our lives are going to look like in six months, if we’re honest.

In the 'end of the set' song the Willis-Flora family always sang every place we caroled, we squeezed 'God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again' in between 'Silent Night' and the Seven-fold Amen. Well, there's a line in there that is actually 'with His sheep securely fold you' that somehow got twisted around as 'with His sheets securely fold you.' Somehow, that's not quite the right mental picture, is it? Ok, here’s one for you…maybe not a great example, but, well…
