Sisterly Luv ;>

Today I'm grateful for....

Missing the womyns camp, which allowed me the unexpected opportunity to spend time with my sisters and do a little healing.

Crying with my sisters over miscommunication and noticing the fragility of each of us underneath our facade of strength.

Laughing and dancing with my sisters Saturday night, booty dancing, the electric slide, and lesbians.

Leaving the party to go party, the "mens" showing up half an hour later to be with their women, they love you girls.

Out of the blue seeing my friend Eric, and loving just laying together.

Jessica being able to be involved in the sisterly love, and her tears for us.

A safe place to let loose.

Being able to catch up with Shelly Friday night while she's here for the weekend. Haven't seen her since high school. Lots of good grief conversation with her as she is preparing to lose her mom to cancer. Connecting with her in a way that I didn't expect to, her words of comfort to me and mine to her.

A safe trip back to Florida for Shelly and Jody T.

I'm grateful I ran into Shelly's sister Jody, became friends with her then found out Shelly was her sister. Grateful for the time they've been able to spend with their mom. Their mom's will to live and joyous spirit. Knowing that I will be a part of their grief recovery and I will learn from them as much as they will learn from me.

Being able to support people in the only ways I know how, but feeling it deeply.

Giggling with Jody and her partner Jackie about silly stuff. They sing, dance and are as goofy as I am, kindred spirits.

That there are more people reading the glogs than I thought, and how our words ripple out and affect them.

The lemon head "moms" cake the girls made for me on Friday night, and the chocolate covered strawberries Kelsey surprised me with this afternoon.

AAahhh sleeping in my bed tonight.

That I know jones is having a fabulous time with the womyn at the camp this weekend and looking forward to hearing her stories, and seeing her pics.

Finally hearing my dad say some mature things. That lets me know he's been listening to me, and some type of change is happening with him.

Dad's boat and all of his dreams of family time wrapped up in it. Looking forward to helping that dream along.

Tracie's inappropriate stories about DJ and his parts.

Lisa's smile.

Continuing to be more comfortable with myself, comfortable being single and taking affection when I need it from people I trust.

Beautiful weather with the top laid back and the sunshine shine'n.

A busy but fantastic weekend.

The way dandelion seed heads glow like faery lights when the sun sets over my back yard.

Love in all forms

Family, not just immediate, but true family

Movies that make me cry

Songs that make me groove

Life and not giving up
