Some things are bitter sweet...

I think you all understand....

but 

I am taken by surprise 

by 

the

 intensity

 sometimes....

Dear Pam

at Frippery

had a giveaway....

I won.

Sweet!

But in the same post 

she stated that she might not be able to continue

with this wonderful blog

whose quote states

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sigh.....

now I know that daily posting is 

an incredible commitment.

I don't blame Pam a bit 

for feeling overwhelmed,

or over tasked,

or over committed,

That's easy to understand.

But,

I also want to say that 

I have learned so much....

merely, from reading her blog

that the thought of doing without.

Well, it makes me feel a little like 

a child who is at the end of the school

year with a favorite teacher.....

A little freaked out.....

I love sarcasm....

I love irony....

I love a well turned phrase....

Pam does all of this well.

LIke I said...

bittersweet....

believe me,

each time I look at my prize,

I will think of how her writing has made me laugh,

think, respond, and return.

Big Smiles Pam!
