I just dashed to the store for a ham salad sandwich and a new belgium because tonight I am banning the books.

Tonight is a pumpkin carving, girls only, cider drinking type of date and it is exactly what my heart needs.  There's a bow in my hair.  I smell sweet.  And I'm wearing those shoes I haven't been brave enough to put on yet.

My heart is not quite as tired as it was and maybe after tonight it will be a little more determined to live strongly.  I'm finding more people who are making it, collecting them together and hugging them to my soul.

Fellowship may be my favorite word lately.
