Now, maybe I missed something in an earlier post, because I'm a little behind, but you wrote this:<BR/><BR/>"I checked it out thinking I needed it for 'research' on my book."<BR/><BR/>*Your* book? Are you writing something? A project? Hm? Hmm? <BR/><BR/>Or maybe I just need to work my way backwards for an explanation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-21907450680348928682007-03-07T15:40:00.000-07:002007-03-07T15:40:00.000-07:00beautiful. as always. keeps me coming back at lea...beautiful. as always. keeps me coming back at least once a week. especially since you seem to say what's on my mind a lot, only, much more beautifully.Sheelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892316117026334238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-41991558150186338072007-03-04T14:29:00.000-07:002007-03-04T14:29:00.000-07:00Julie,I just came across your blog recently and ha...Julie,<BR/>I just came across your blog recently and have been checking it now and then. After reading your post yesterday, I almost posted a comment, but decided you didn't need to hear what some stranger had to say. I should have posted it. I want to thank you now since I didn't yesterday. It was beautiful and it was something I needed to hear. Sometimes it really does help to hear (or read) someone express the thoughts in your own head that you've been hiding from. I loved the painting, too, and the meaning that you found in it for yourself. Don't you just feel that is such a gift when you can look at a work of art or read something and so identify with it that you *feel* it? Thank you for that giving me that gift yesterday and again today.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-26468136281523022132007-03-04T13:38:00.000-07:002007-03-04T13:38:00.000-07:00I loved your last post and I love this one too.

I think it is great and I will pray for your success at following it. Although my personal struggles have more to do with not giving myself too much permission to be a complete sloth, I understand the cathartic nature of your previous post. I wrote a couple of them in the last few days of 2006. :o <BR/><BR/>And the baby does look scrumptious... at least in the picture. The explosion story? Definitely too seasoned.<BR/><BR/>One last thing... Have you talked about your book here, that is any specifics? I'm curious as the the Plath connection. (Please feel free to tell me it's none of my business.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270726693980247861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-79530767356654243122007-03-02T21:07:00.000-07:002007-03-02T21:07:00.000-07:00Glad your feeling better.

I'm the person who deleted the above comment; after I hit 'publish,' I realized I'd made a huge typo (note to self: try the 'preview' feature once in a while). Your blog is lovely. Thank you for sharing your 'woe is me' thoughts; it's nice to know I'm not the only one struggling at the moment. And trying to cope by making lists.Luisa Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310698422276446909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-19778637185346111232007-03-02T14:11:00.000-07:002007-03-02T14:11:00.000-07:00It's so good to "see" you smiling again.

Even if you still are juggling your 100 plates, you sound swimmingly today ... well at least compared to yesterday.<BR/><BR/>You can publish as many to do lists as you want - they are clever, funny and entertaining. I am glad you have hang out with you mom on your list. She seems like a gem.
