NaBloPoMo Arrives!!!

November First! We’ll forgo all the “can you believe it? Where did October go” stuff and just dive right in. NaBloPoMo beings today!!!

THAT in itself is crazy to me. Last year, I tried. I had never done this before, and wanted to join the cool kids who had been playing for awhile. Looking back…November of 07 was a hard one for me. Chocked full of lessons yet to learn, lessons that had to be re-learned, lot’s of dirty martini’s, rescues made by true friends, topped off with outage from the internet that booted me from the daily posting.

I’ve said it many times over the last year and a half, but it bears repeating.

Oh what a difference a year makes.

It’s been a week over here at the circus. If you’ve been reading, you know the terminal ferris wheel I’ve been on. If you’ve been commenting, bless you. If you’ve been lurking, I know you were here. I have sitemeter! Anyways…I’ve stopped the ride. I got off. Walking on sunshine (cue music).

This week held a Sunday with friends and pizza, a Tuesday with M’Lynn and some words that fucked me up, a Thursday of embracing the wild side of myself that I’ve supressed lo these many years, a Friday that held another roundhouse kick outta nowhere from alleged friends and a rally cry from the tribe led by my rage. The day ended with Gert and myself on my porch, dissecting these relationships and ours and making connections and talking about MeMe. My glorious, glorious Meme, whom we both miss dearly, but feel so close to her, feel her guiding our lives, that we’re never too far away. Make sense? I just choked myself up with that a little.

sniff.
snork.

All of that to say this.

My life is FULL of love. FULL to the brim and running over with love. Faces painted half blue and swords at the ready, from state line to state line.

I pray everyday. More than once a day. It’s a continuous strain of mumble jumble at times. But within those prayers are always these words.

“Please send me somebody to love. Please make me open to being loved. Please make me ready for it when it comes.”

Starting today, I recognize that my prayers have been answered. Tenfold. I have been given love…no there’s not a man, a partner (He knows where your door is and hasn’t been banging it down to get to you, Zelda.) But there is love…

Happy Birthday Hudson.
Happy November (power month to Scorpios!)
Happy NaBloPoMo.
