today is the turnabout

i feel strong. and happy. and hopeful.

and not defined by other peoples opinions of me.

i got called beautiful by a man i know today and i didn't break stride. that's saying something. i typically try to milk that stuff. not today. i owned it and kept right on moving.

like i said, i define me, no one else does.

and to me i am beautiful.

and henry is a great kid. today he was sweet and goofy and rad.

again with the changes.

it's no time for change

with mercury in retrograde and my life in upheaval i have to say this is no time for change. but there is a part of me that wants to do something drastic. like move. or shave my head.

which, of course, i won't do.

but that's what i feel like.

secret world

i am both in love with and afraid of love.

and somehow i am manifesting a seriously cool relationship with jack. he's finding ways to keep me from falling, but somehow the small details are creeping in.

and i miss henry. he won't be home for four days. wow...

a switch

to begin with, i have watched an exodus from live journal over to blogspot for some time. my most trusted friends and family have left the lj world and come here. so i thought, hell, follow. this does not me a lemming make.

second, i named my blog dare to eat the peach after, you guessed it, t.s. eliot. you know the line, "do i dare to eat a peach?/ i have heard the mermaids singing/ each to each..."

yes. t.s. you should dare to eat the peach. you should.

because i do.
