Every Friday I transfer posts here from the Virtual Pint archives.
Sporadic posting here in my corner of the internet this past couple of weeks, due to being Miss Busy Pajamas. Thanks for your patience.
Here is today’s tray of pints:
- Hope for the elections and everything else (April 2005) — I posted this as part of a big roundup I did about hope nearly a year ago, so perhaps some of you haven’t yet seen it. It seems timely, coming as it does only days after an election and inauguration that have inspired more political hope in me than I’ve had in a long time. Maybe because I already see evidence of action. Back in 2005, all I had was hope.
- Continuation (May 2005) — When the story goes on in non-sequential ways.
- Life/story (May 2005) — Balancing the daily details with the story. This one was unexpectedly hard to transfer over, since I had to rebuild all the links and was caught quite unaware by how much I miss my beloved cat.
But it’s okay. Death or not, love is good and the world is wide and the sun is always shining on some part of it. Today that’s enough for me. I hope wherever you are and whatever the day may bring you will be wonderfully enough for you.
It’s good to hear your voice. Always remember, never forget, taking time off is as good as it gets. Will Obama save the world? Stay tuned, as they say on the radio. Hope is the only real anti-virus. For some reason I am writing bumper stickers today, and you are the victim.
“Hope is the only real anti-virus.” Wow, Barbara, I’m taking that thought to the only bank I trust: my heart.
jean, thanks for your truly living human response. Since my words touched your heart, I’m glad.
barbara, I’m trying… Although since I am dashing off to a brunch meeting in a little while, I suppose I am not perhaps getting it yet.
jeam, what a lovely way to say it. I trust the bank of my heart too.
I was about to go on to say, “I just wish it could give me everything I need,” but I couldn’t quite bring myself to finish the sentence and leave it unconsidered.
