I don't know what's wrong with me tonight...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Normally, I have a poem, or something funny or serious to say, or maybe even pics...

But tonight I feel tongue-tied, and stupid...

Surrounded by my friends, all of whom are being witty, funny, smart, over the top...

But still...

I want to be here, talking to all of you...

I do hope I'm the only one who feels stupid...

4. Peggy!

I often feel that way.. but that's because I have been unemployed for a year and a half and spend all day with 3 (was four but one recently passed away) large dogs and a cat.

When I do get the chance to have adult conversation, all I seem able to is point out something the furry kids did.

I haven't been witty in ages, so tonite you and I are good company.

Rock on California Peggy, tomorrow is another day and as my grandpa said.. birds will be singing and the sun will shine and how can you not smile at that?

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear nadine_mn!

Oh, sweetie!

My condolences on your job situation, and on the loss of your furry pet...:hug:

And your sweet words have already made me smile!

Thank you!

:fistbump:

6. Peggy my friend...

I often feel stupid (never tongue tied though, much to my dismay), as with everything, this too shall pass. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear mcctatas!

You have never looked stupid to me...

I'm never tongue tied either, and who knows if that's bad or good...

It will pass...

Thank you for reminding me that I'm human too... :hug:

8. Did you yell at kids to get off your lawn today?

If not, well, there's your problem. It's stress-relief, ya know :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear kentauros!

Oh my god! I forgot!

Of course, it was sprinkling most of the day, so there weren't too many kids around...

No stress-relief!

:P

:rofl:

[kentauros]

14. Ah, you forgot your umbrella!

They're not just for protecting you from the rain and sun, ya know. ;)

[PaddyBlueEyes]

9. Aaaahhh knock it off

I am stupid compared to the rest of you.. :rofl: Love Ya, Pegs :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear PaddyBlueEyes!

OK...let me tell you, boyo...

You are NOT stupid, compared to anybody!

Love ya too...and my apologies to mcctatas!

:hug:

15. Tonight's silence ...

... is the place where your heart beats, quietly anticipating the birth of tomorrow's words.

When you are a wordsmith, as you truly are, your lack of words speaks louder than the millions of words of many.

Sleep - and dream. And let your soul sing in the morning of new beginnings, inspired by the silent yearnings that fleetingly embraced you in the dead of night.

The words are there - you only need capture them in your net, and give them flight at dawn.

[FloridaJudy]

16. Wow, Nance: that's beautiful.

Happy birthday, BTW.

And Peggy: we don't always have to be witty and charming. Sometimes we just have to let ourselves be quiet and process what we've learned. The odd thing is that we usually feel sort of stupid when we're doing it, but sometimes it's the smartest thing to do.

Rest and relax. The words will still be there when you're ready for them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear FloridaJudy...

Ah, how right you are: we don't always have to be witty and charming...

But sometimes I just cannot stand being stupid!

And tonight, reading some of my friends' posts...

Well, I felt stupid.

So there you are...

Thank you, sweetie... :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Nance...

Wow, sweetie...

I am standing in your presence...honored beyond belief by your deathless prose!

How you inspire me!

Thank you...

:hug:

[krispos42]

19. Watch the lunar eclipse tonight for inspiration

It starts at, um... 4:37am KolliFORnia time.



:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear krispos42!

Omigod, thank you for this beautiful chart!

I love love love lunar eclipses!

Alas, I will almost certainly be asleep at 4:37 AM KolliFORnia time!

But thank you for this...

You made me smile, sweetie... :hug:

[krispos42]

21. How about an insprational shiny object?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. How cool is that!

I love shiny objects too!

Where is this?

Thanks, sweetie!

:hug:

[krispos42]

23. It's in Chicago

I belive it was placed there to divert attention from Blaggo's 'do

:D





This one might make you smile as well...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. This one didn't make me smile...

It made me ROFL!:rofl: :rofl:

Thank you...

And I wonder just how well that shiny object did divert folks from ol' Blaggo!


You are being very sweet to me tonight, and I appreciate it muchly!


:hug:
