I know most, if not all, of you have seen this video before so I'm not sharing it as news, but as what I'm doing and where I'm at.
It's a funny thing, this video was on my mind the past week or so, but I never bothered to bring it up on YouTube because I could get happy just thinking about it and then I saw it posted at Thea's and I finally played it about 20 minutes ago and have been pretty much sobbing in between convulsions of crying since.
Seeing it is totally different than remembering it.
Seeing it cracks me open something raw.
If ever I needed a reason to be grateful for the invention of film and YouTube this is it.
And, I know I didn't think I would be taking a break from blogging this summer, but it turns out I will be. I just don't feel like I've been sharing anything of what's been going on with me and can't seem to catalogue it. Perhaps this won't be a long break. Not sure.
I'll definitely be back by end of August, if not sooner.
Be well you sweet birds--- have a marvelous summertime!

Stephanie says: Just what I needed- something to put me right over the edge of my PMS... I'm more of an animal than a kid person, so this was ridiculously hard yet profound to watch. Thank you. AND... take all the time you need- thats the best part of blogging, no one makes you do anything and its more for yourself than anyone else. As a "community" we know you'll be back when and if you need to. Have an awesome and beautifully green summer. posted on: July 22
