Chuckle, chuckle. Yep I read it. Right on bed time. 11:30pm. But I haven’t brushed my teeth yet and was just checking my emails before getting up to do them and stumbled across this.

Language is an intriguing thing. I do tend to understate. I’d rather leave the excess for excessive things, but occasionally something stronger is needed. I’ll keep an eye on my language for a few days if I think about it and we’ll see how things go. But I am the middle child of five and I think we just learn to be peacemakers. Until someone goes too far, then there’ll be a sharp rebuke even if not a swear word. Those are left for true anger. (Your fucked up regime for example. Sigh…)

Anyway, sending hugs. Take care my dear. This too shall pass.

Yup, I read it immediately. And truth be told, it was because of the F in the title AND because it was you who put it there — which was so unexpected…. A lot to think about here. I hate that this word is so commonly used because for me, it is still to be reserved for the truly most amazing moments — good or bad and the honest feelings it conveys. Twenty years ago, I was irritated by overuse of the word “awesome” for everything… oceans, mountains, polar bears, hummingbirds are awe-inspiring; if your your chocolate milkshake inspires awe, well…
