    "I'm alive"

    Someone precious in my life said those words to me just recently.  It really can be as simple as that, at times.

    Nancy, keep in your good (mental) place, keep that happiness as much as you can.

    i try everyday hedonist. And after losing my brother and sister at an age when they should still be here, I have to figure I am here for a reason and I'm being put through the wringer to be ready to handle anything.  I love your posts. I'm alive is sometimes just good enough. And while I am, I get to keep trying and making mistakes and learning. If I am feeling emotions, even if they suck, it means I'm a breathing human being. 

    Won't let the darkness swallow me; won't let the light escape from me! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
    ((((Hugs & healing vibes)))) to you too, njnancy

    The purity, the kindness, of some people never fails to floor and bring me humility - and gratitude.

    Thank you to those who got me through a recent rough ride.

    I hope you know how utterly beautiful you are to me :)

    I'm thinking about how proud I am of my sons, and how they have turned out to be the best sort of young men -- intelligent, kind, compassionate, generous, and true to themselves. The fact that they are explicitly appreciative of the support my husband and I have provided over the years -- at an age (college!) when many young people can't be bothered to talk to their parents -- is the icing on the cake. 
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    This is fantastic, and reminds me of my niece and nephew (mid and early-20's, respectively), with whom I spent a bit of time yesterday.

    Cheers to you and your husband (as well as to my sister and BIL).

    Interview tomorrow. Boy, do I want this one. I took videos of me answering different questions. After reviewing it I decided to add a little more inflection in my answers so that I don't sound like a machine. I'm looking forward to this interview!

    I thought the interview went well. If I get a follow-up interview it will be in October.

    I am ready for Irma to dissipate into the ether. We got some pretty good wind and a lot of rain today (will continue on until probably midnight or so). However, I'm in the dreaded right front quadrant so there's a good possibility of tornados occurring. I know there were a few in the Charleston area.

    All that said, prayers and good thoughts go out to those in Florida. The footage I saw from Naples was truly disastrous.

    Greece may or may not appreciate that :whistle:

    I've been thinking about how randomness and destiny are intertwined.
