If cockatars are verboten, I wonder how many languages of “forbid” that post would cover
 
That no matter your worth, people only see what you are worth to them and treat you accordingly.
 
I'm thinking that I hope everyone who was struggling yesterday has a better day today.
 
Thinking I saw the big-assed old moon between two trees this morning as I strolled down the road to chat with the people who know my name and are always kind to me. All is right with the world.
 
Tone can be so difficult to convey in the written word.

In the absence of all those helpful cues we get from hearing a person's voice or saying a person's face that tell us the emotions behind the words we all tend to fill in the blanks and usually with the worst possible outcome.

I work with two guys and every time I read an email from them I need to stop and think about what they might really mean versus what I think they mean. One is an easy-going but very gruff and curt person. So he's not trying to issue an ultimatum he is just sending me this sort of message he can think of. the other is a pedantic dick and I come through other he's ready and email or berating someone in person.

I try to be cognizant of that every time I post on here or send someone an email. So even it it makes me feel like that a junior high schooler use emoticons If I'm tryin to be sarcastic or wiki

Good thoughts. I always have it in the back of my head that it doesn’t matter what comes out of my mouth if I’m not communicating effectively enough for the person, or people, I’m communicating with to understand me. It’s such an important skill to develop and try to put into practice.
 
Plastic wrap is either the strongest or weakest material on earth when you don't want it to be.
 
Sitting in the shade on my dear friend’s porch with her little dog on my lap as I wistfully gaze at the first fallen leaves. This is my place of perfect contentment.
 
Me: I'm professionally fulfilled but creatively unfulfilled? That possible?

My Stomach: Shhhh. Ice cream for lunch. Shhhh.
 
It’s a month today and I’m falling apart like never before, I don’t feel like I will
