Through the looking glass.

It took two years, but I'm definitely on the other side, the down slope of divorcing. I'm not in the verdant, peaceful valley, but everyday is no longer a struggle and slog. I do not wish ex ill will. I have compassion for his human struggles and--hallelujah--I do not want to get back together with him, even though it would help me financially. Fuck the finances, I say, and the angels laugh and sing. "Now she gets it. The world is full of abundance and uncertainty and cute kittens--lots of cute kittens. What is finite is clean air and water." That's when I stop listening. I can't go straight from divorce to fixing the ills of humankind. I'm going to take some time to revel in this new place. With my new kitten. Behold, the handsomeness of Clooney, the world's cutest kitten.

Soon I will learn to crop so you don't have to see my wrinkly mug in Clooney pics.

Brazil nuts are good.

I've spent my whole eating around them in the nut bowl--first the cashews, then the pecans, then the almonds, then the peanuts until there was nothing left but a pile of Brazil nuts, which I left. Now, after 40+ years I discovered that I love them. It makes me wonder what other things I need to revisit? Might okra be tasty? Is it possible that Melanie Griffith is a great actress?
