Up/down, up/down, and perhaps it’s true to say love is like a little child in hop and skip all day. I smiled, you know, like women do when the children play and I knew at once like women do that I live right in the middle of love’s so merry hop. And who can hang suspended in the middle of a hop and touch the very essence of who is living there? But I smiled, you know, like women do after the tears are wrung and taken from the heart to mind to dry up on the logic. And I have a line of logic in the middle of a hop but too that goes up/down until I smile like women do and say, “To hell with it”. So you see I’m here today in the middle of a hop where neither love nor logic stands with me in mid-air but I smile, you know, like women do because I already know nothing stays suspended in the middle of a hop!

SweetFriend~ I always tell the grandie girlies, when they inquire as to "How far is it ? When are we going to GET THERE ?", that it's a hop, skip and a jump ... then they love getting to the end of the hop ... forward to the skip ... and joyous feet first into the JUMP ! I like your hoppity little self dear lady~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Well now, Marge, I'll have to put my mind to "the jump" with the same excitement as the grandie girls because I happen to think that the only way forward is to go back to innocence. Maybe that's a bit deep but then again going right down results in a bigger jump. Wow, I think I'm getting away from myself. Thank you Marge for your comment and for the other! Much appreciated.

Thanks Arctic W! I did some interesting hops myself today when my garden faucet broke and I stupidly tried to fix it with the water pouring up and out. Some things are beyond a woman like me! Sigh! |
