turning over
This has been a rough week. A strange week. A convergence of hopes and uncertainties that has left me extremely aware of all my tender spots...and that I am, in fact, made up of tender spots.

A week of physical and mental exhaustion. Of grief anniversaries and gratitude for flags flying at half-staff. A week where words have seemed a barricade, not a bridge, with me trapped alone with my meanings and everyone else on the other side.

A week where I can do nothing but bang my head against the immutable truth of my father's absence...where I just want to ask one question...just one question, Vati, please: can't you tell me what Kit's profession should be? Because I can't figure it out and I know you'd know.

A week that I'm hoping ends tonight. Because I could really use a new leaf to pen tomorrow upon. Please?

Love and good thoughts for you. If you need it, just to know someone's thinking of you, you can put the South Catolina category sign in your sign holder. :)

Thank you so much, Lissa! One of the first things I thought of when I was struggling through this week was that sign...and though I haven't put it up (too distracted to remember, oy), just thinking of it has really, really helped. ::hugs:: But since I'm thinking of it right now...and I have a moment of calm...I'm going to go put it up. ...After I read it again, of course. :D
