February 21, 2011 – The Joy of Sibling Harmony

The room wafts with laughter from two kids who normally pride themselves in annoying each other. They have found a common interest.

And for now – they are trading funny jokes and cheering each other on.

For now.

I am sure something will jolt them out of this bliss soon.

But not me – the joy that overflows my heart to hear our children giggling as friends and not enemies may be enough to get through until the next time they like each other.

For now.

 

February 20, 2011 – Hot Flashes and Sore Throats

Just a title tonight – an idea for a future piece. I promised that even if I could actually write, I would at least throw out some ideas to keep my brain from completely shutting down.

What about –

Memories That Don’t Know Their Rightful Place

Happenstance and the Stairway that Goes Up

Phone Call to the Living Room

Nauseous Days of Whine and Poses

Touch the Glass

Why Do the Good Shows Always Get Canceled?

Who’s Up for a Pause?

Heavy Eyelids Can Tangle Hair

That should be plenty for me to mull about for now – some of them might even stir my aching brain later this week.

We’ll see. I’m not going to give up for long just because I have to for now.
