You keep your promises very well, and I do remember this. Because one reading led to another reading, I have come to admire you for the courage and fortitude you show not only as a woman, but as a poet who knows how to express herself in such ways as to bring us to tears, and to laughter...you have the talent, my dear...and you wield it well. Thank you for this...thank you for you! Red Badge of Courage Hugs....  And we shall meet, wearing purple! |

Lyra, this was incredible writing about being a woman. Have you ever read the book, The Red Tent? I thought it was fabulous and you might want to take it out of the library when you get a chance. I've read it several times. Hugs, Marti "Even if life is full of thorns, I still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, there is a rose worth all the pain." |

Thanks so much, Karilea... What a wonderful compliment which means even more to me from a poet with your incredible talent. And we will definitely wear purple together one day... but not just yet. We have a lot more red and green years before the purple... but the purple are the most valuable ~ red and purple hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Martie... I think you are much too young to be wearing purple, though. My late mother in law loved purple so much that almost all of her clothes were purple, as was her luggage and almost everything else she owned. I think she had at least a dozen purple nightgowns and probably a few dozen purple earrings. She had these things when I first met her and I think she was only 55 then. She was probably born wearing purple.  ~ young purple hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Marti... Its good to see you back here again. I have never seen that book, but I will look for it. Is it about a woman who got so fat that she had to wear tents? Lately, I haven't had time to read anything because I spend so much time here at Piptalk and also researching different treatments.  ~ red hugsLyra |

Michael...thanks so much for your reply. I guess I am going through my red period right now But red has always been my favorite color... For some reason, it makes me feel more comfortable and it looks good on me...  David says that it must have something to do with my temper...  ~ tempermental hugsLyra |
