The Monthly Reminder

"Don't forget that you are a writer. Go write." 

My phone does it's job and reminds me to be diligent to the love of my life on the last day of every month at almost midnight. So here I am.

I have been thinking about Blogging for the past few days. To be precise, things to say in the blog has been percolating in my mind for a few days. Percolating- a great word, isn't it? Rolls off the tongue like all the best words do. 

There has been no small amount of controversy over my words recently. At first it was irritating, then irksome, and morphed into curious. Settling at mildly interesting. The one thing that I can say for sure is that at the end of the day words freed me. They saved me. They created a path that wasn't there before they were spoken. Words found a way. One that made sense to everyone but mostly to me, who holds all the pieces of the story. I don't care what anybody says, my words worked. 

Fast forward-

Foster Care

Sense of Purpose

Crackhead Mentality

Choices

Being at Peace

Believing in Things You Can't Control

Owning the Power of Choice

Love

Old and New Friends

Compassion and Grace

Understanding Feelings

Using Voice

Knowing the Difference Between Advocating and Anger

Having Words for and Understanding the Methodology Behind My Feelings

Living the Questions

Take a dart. Throw it. Hit one. It is possible that at the end of the day they are all connected. Of course they are all connected, life is spherical not linear. But what to talk about? What to say?

Gratitude. 

Thank you Blog for being there to listen when I have a lot to say and when I have a little to say. Tonight the story is in the silence.
