Used to be that I would look forward to the holidays and decorating. If you tried to tell me then about my lack of enthusiasm now, I would have said you’re crazy. There is nothing worse than a humbug! I wish I knew how to get some of that excitement back without the anxiety. As close as I can get is when I write. I go back and embrace those feelings and put them on paper. Paper is safe and oh so forgiving. It is also quiet and unassuming. It has no needs It is always a perfect fit. It neither complains nor criticizes. It simply waits on me to do as I please with nary a thank you from me. LGR©11/10/17 |

I feel the very same way as do you. Bah Humbug indeed! ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Somewhere tonight, Lori Rhoden, a tree is screaming...but not the one your paper came from. It's already cashed. I had a tree comb once. I don't think I'll ever get over it. ...just bein' Bluesy |

enuff with the guilt already you tree hugger! My "paper" these days is a blank document on the computer. A tree comb? never heard of it. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. ~L |

Pinkypaper, I like a blank screen and lined paper. I can't write in a straight line to save my soul. When I was in high school, my creative writing class kept journals on Big Chief writing tablets. They were great. I don't even know if they still make them. ~L |

Bluesy, I'm so upset to hear about your living situation. I'm getting a new washer and dryer set soon. I will send you the boxes to add on to your cramped living quarters. Well, this certainly explains why you have such a wonderful love life...on paper. Keep up the great work.  ~L |
