i BADLY needed to do laundry so i went to melissa's and as i waited we watched anne of green gables. it did my heart good. it laughed so much and was quite touched by the gentleness of matthew.
i feel on the mend although i know i have a long way to go. i'm afraid to get too confident that it'll be ok because whenever that happens i end up with a rake in the face.
today was gasing up at a gas station, just looking about, minding my own business when i found the lady in the car ahead of looking at me. i looked back at her. then she called out to me "you're spilling gas everywhere!!" OOPS! i looked down to see gas pouring out from my car as it overflowed. whoopsy. i don't think it was my fault though, i think the pump must be broken. still i felt kind of dumb. hahaha, i can picture it now. my pants and beloved boots got COVERED in gasoline. i was potentially flamable. i have a feeling that even after washing my pants they still smell.
today i imagined everything in life laid out before me on a table. i asked myself... if you were to pick each item, what order would you pick them in. i was quite surprised by what i selected. surprised in a good way. i discovered that i've already got what i desire most. i can't honestly say i don't want what i haven't got, but i do know i want what i have more than anything else. i've been doing a lot of soul searching and hope to continue to. my mom says it doesn't take long for me to get over things, i'm not sure how true that is, there are some exceptions. i'm hoping for the best.

I've had that happen at a gas pump before, too. It's definitely a pump problem. They're supposed to click off when they get to the top.
I am so jealous that you watched Anne!!! Maybe I should do that tomorrow!! (once again, you've inspired me!
Speaking of inspiration...I was talking on the phone to my Mom last night (who lives in B.C.) and she just made her first blog this week...at the age of 58!!
I was walking her through some of the "technicalities" and she told me that reading your blog is what inspired her!! She found your openness and honesty absolutely lovely (she thought my blog was intimidating!!!).
So as you can see Lesley, your world, be it real or cyber, moves other people's world as well!!
Be proud of that and move ahead confidently (even when it hurts).
