a response about "opposition"

"thank you for caring. i would like to be honest in my posts, although some people may think i have issues. I think everyone has issues..they just hide it. I dont want to worry people too much , so I dont always write the negative issues publicly. I honestly think that most mothers find it to be excruciating , they are just too scared to admit it. its not natural to be so secluded in these little box houses. no matter how much other mothers claim they love it..they have bad days too. i wish more people would be more honest. but i guess all i can do is start being more open with my honesty. I think I will copy this on to my blog :)
and yes , an LV post might be nice to do. as i have written before, I am not motivated to write much these days though.
I just needed to get away..and run into the people i ran into...make those unexpected connections. I got some useful feedback from friends and strangers. mostly from strangers believe it or not!"

cotton candy skies

I just got back from a meditation with monks that I was able to attend just a few blocks away from my house. It was a lovely walk back after sitting in a crowded, hot room with no A/C. I didnt even learn anything mind blowing this time...but anyway...the walk home was nice. The sun was down, it cooled off and the whole sky had patches of pink in it. I could have made a youtube video and been like the "double rainbow guy". Darn, I missed my chance at stardom....I could have been 'cotton candy sky girl'. Silly.
On the walk home I was also reminiscing about a bike ride i had yesterday. It was so cute. I was riding home with Ama after her swim lesson and I had this total feeling of neighborhood living. We rode down 13th which is like our little main street and so many things were going on....
-one shop owner was checking on the people next door
-love cup coffee shop had a bucket of coffee grounds that the owner said I could have so I put it in my bike bucket
-Ama stopped to say hi to Eric, the bike shop owner
-I daydreamed of the 1200$ space for lease next door
-Ama daydreamed of the homemade popsicles at the cravin raven

I almost started singing "who are the people in your neighborhood?"
I'm glad that we know a few!
