Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Dear God,
Today I celebrate my birthday.
There’s so much I want to tell you, and the words are stumbling over one another. My thoughts are in a jumble, but the excited kind of jumble. It’s like there’s a tombola in my head with my thanksgivings written in little pieces of paper, all wanting to be picked [...]

Feeling special and all

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Today I’m feeling special. How are you feeling today?
*****
When was the last time you went for a physical exam? Tomorrow I have mine. I’d say I’m not worried, but then I’d be lying. It’s the whole shebang — blood test, sugar, cholesterol, eye refraction, pap smear, etal. And I have to ask this: [...]
