Seriously Reader’s Digest?

There is a little monthly publication my parents have subscribed to for years.  A little golden nugget that has been revered as the end all of answers.  It was referenced and quoted in my household since before I can remember.  The little book?  The Reader’s Digest.  The source of many a quirky solution to a plethora of problems.  I do have a crude nickname for it but I’ll refrain from sharing it.  For now.

How many views?

On October 16, 2013 I received my most views to date.

Highest view 167 views

Highest view 167 views

And I became excited because, as you can see, my average views is much, much lower.

But then, WordPress took a view away.  I’m not sure why.  Perhaps I made it sad.  Or mad.  Or maybe it’s a practical joker.

All of a sudden, I lost a view!  Down to 166 views.  How is that possible?!

All of a sudden, I lost a view! Down to 166 views. How is that possible?!

I complained explained it all in a previous post.  You can check it out at What the hey?!  But you don’t really need to because I just summed it up pretty well.  Basically, WordPress took a view away.  Not sure why.

Well, this weekend – guess what reappeared?

Well hello lost view.

Well hello lost view.

 

So, what you’re telling me is, I do, in fact, have 167 views?

The spectacular crash

The setup:  I had a headache Sunday night.  By the time 10:00pm rolled around (which my body recognized as only 9:00pm because it was Daylight Savings Time Sunday) I just wanted to go to bed and close my eyes.  I finally climbed into bed 50 minutes later and prayed I’d be able to fall asleep.  At 11:33, I looked at my clock again and sighed.  No relief yet.

Sleep did come.  It must have come.  Because at 12:17am I was awakened to a loud crash.

A four year old named B

Back in June, my niece Nic and her family moved across the country to a warmer climate.  A place where ‘pop’ is referred to as ‘soda’ and my soon-to-be two year old grand-niece is picking up a southern drawl, y’all.

My grand-nephew B is as smart as ever.  I know you think I’m biased but he really is the cutest four year old out there today.  Seriously.

Impossible to Say Goodbye

Coldness has become my friend

The dark of night wraps around

Joy has gone astray

Uncertain feelings hold me down

A life has been lost

But a life shall be gained

When a new day arrives

You will be here again

When all unfolds

Confusion cleared – and I can see

I will not stand alone

You will live inside of me

You are a breeze upon my face

Invisible to my eye

Forever you will always remain

Impossible – to say goodbye

Written after the death of my mother.  Even when someone has gone, and essence still remains.  Everything they were and all they did for you will still be alive.
