After lazing about all morning, accomplishing nothing of recognized
value I placed my tea cup in the microwave, turned to the blue sky in
the kitchen window and let out a happy growl as I stretched, fists
aloft. My eyes settled on this graduation gift perching on the
sill:
It’s from my friend Brooke. It’s called “Courage.”Hey, that was my exact stance! See the little wire wings out the
back? I have those too, metaphorically; they’re the waves of “sensation”
from my back spasming, the effects of lying in bed too long in conjunction with
not doing my yoga on a regular basis. I generally call my poses
“Apathy” and “I’ll tell them I forgot to set my alarm” but I have to
say, I’m liking the idea that it could be construed as “Courage.”
All riiiiiiiiiiiiight… we shall overcome.

too cute. now come do my hair. or just do me.
True story. I have this exact statue, and loved it to death, because it made me feel empowered. One year after I returned to Turkey, I realized that Aydin had somehow accidently knocked off her wings. And I contemplated how maybe there was some parallel there. And 3 months ago, I knocked the poor thing over and one of her extended arms broke off. So now I have a wingless, one-armed angel. I think she’s trying to tell me something.
Happy Mothers Day dear.
Love you very much, dollface.
baha, see, if that were mine? it would be called “aaaaah don’t shoot!”
courage is better. you should definitely stick with courage.
Happy belated mother’s day. Although, I just wrote belated birthday, which is true as well. I still need to send you a present.
I gotta get on the ball with lots of things.
Yeah, belated HMD from here, too!
Sometimes it takes courage just to get out of bed in the morning. Or at least, thats a good way to justify it.
Abso-luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutely!

lol!
I tried yoga once. Really gave it an effort, too. But I farted really loud, and it was the upstairs at Town Hall, and even though the instructor said it’s all a part of yoga – I just couldn’t show my face again. I’ll have to go to another town.
