Today, Monday. I woke up with a feeling that I could conquer the world. Sprung out of bed and made the beds with a hop in my step. Curled my long hair and put a pink bow tie in and smiled at the reflection in the mirror because I saw myself looking back. Slid my shoes on and felt like the most powerful woman in the world as I opened the door to my house and came outside. I was smiling up to the heavens and listening to the smack of my shoes on the pavement feeling like nothing could get me down. Sitting on the bus smiling to myself like a big idiot thinking that I was about to get to see him for an hour. Sun was shining in my face and my heart seemed to soar with the birds.....And in between the branches where the sun was blinding me, I was stumbling in ecstasy....
I wish that I could put those feelings into a bottle and save them. It's the best feeling in the world every time Monday rolls around, and the world seems to have a glimmer of hope. When I'm back in the same place I was a few hours earlier, coming home, everything seems darker, I feel dirtier, and I can't hear the birds anymore.....

Ha! This is my new calling card, replying to my own messages before anyone else gets a chance. I just realized my whiny saccharin prose probably belongs on the writing board but I'm not sure. Sorry if I put it in the wrong place Dr Bob.

Hey girl!
I am soooooooooooooooooooooo glad that Mondays are hopeful for you....I do the same thing before seeing my t....I find myself actually almost sad when I pull into her parking lot because I know she is going to hold me if I want (which I would want for eternity)...it is going to be pure HEAVEN with her, and then I have to leave and come back to "reality"...I wish I could make it last too.
I am very glad you have email with him. I don't really have any contact with her between sessions which can seem like an eternity also. :(Take care! Hope it goes/went well today.
(((((td))))

Seriously, the day my T (haha, "the day" more like the next life) holds me, I stop moving until wild horses drag me away....

> (((((td))))It did go really well! And I walked out of the office with one item that I didn't have when I came in! What might that be you ask???Well,
he finally gave me an answer about the photograph fiasco...Yes, I got one...That made me really happy. The best part was he explained his reasoning and thoughts about it and I was so stunned I guess I didn't even realize that he meant I could HAVE the picture he was showing me. HAHA! That was too funny. Maybe that could count as my current most embarassing moment!It sounds stupid but the photograph sort of makes him three dimensional (uhhh what??) and more alive to me, when he isn't actually around. I think smarter people call this a transitional object. Whatever it is, I am glad to have it....

Oh Tiny what you wrote was both beautiful and so how I feel when I see my T ..then so sad. The BIRDS ARE SINGING youre just not/OR unable to listen. Youre still the pretty girl in the mirror. When I go out and leave my cats, they cannot see me, but do I cease to care about them because I have errands to do and a life to live? no, the birds are still singing.
The birds are always singing for you even when T isnt in sight he cares and you know he does..hold on to THAT and you will hear if you listen.

You are great Fallen! Certainly no doubts here about knowing I'm totally understood by you. I'm glad that you liked what I wrote, I guess it was yesterday that suddenly the contrast got so big and powerful.

Oh Tinydancer, I just "swooned" when I read it and then was so :( for you for a few..then it hit me that you have the birds. It was soooo pretty and well written I TOTALLY undersand. I copied it. I promise I wont sell it as mine or anything but I read it offline a few times...its so pretty. I also went and read some poems on the writing board because of you :)

It's late, I could be confused. Also, I'm procrastinating on some homework I need to complete for tomorrow a.m. I've already resolved to stay up all night to work on it, but I'm still babbling here. This is so much better than the reading I have to do!
Sorry if I messed up.
