We know you're a decent person--not every dog walker would have cleaned up that poop! I think most of us love the unvarnished Frances with her newly varnished toenails. <br /><br />Want you to know that I've loved the Rosary in the past but hadn't said it for quite a while. You gave me the idea and I said it yesterday and it was great. It was just the way people talk about meditation which I've never been able to do--the kind where you just keep repeating the same word--boring! The Rosary is prayer and meditation and thanks for reminding me of it. <br /><br />Who is that guru who talks about the "pain body" we all carry around? I forget. But we all have one. We all have guilt and rage. Take comfort in your writing. Congratulations on writing the short story! Enjoy the company of your dogs. My brother dearly loves his dog and just recently lost a friend because of an offhand comment he made about him. We'll never please all of the people all of the time. <br /><br />Anxiety sucks big time!Hilarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-1907656127838670112014-03-15T16:18:54.176-04:002014-03-15T16:18:54.176-04:00Blogs, when well done are open, honest to the poin...Blogs, when well done are open, honest to the point of brutality, self-deprecating in the extreme and occasionally painful to execute. And funny to the reader! That is the mark of a great writer. Your post was all of these things and I'm sad one of the commenters took it too literally (obviously someone not accustomed to reading with any literary comprehension competency. The other commenter took the blog as it was to be taken, and inside view of the moment to moment thoughts we all have but rarely have the skill to put into words. That commenter understood what a blog/memoir is about.<br /><br />I feel sad that some can't see past literary endeavor and you ended up losing your job over it. But on the bright side, it seems more people than you expect are reading your blog! How else would they have been offended. However if they have been reading your blog with any regularity, I'd have thought they would recognize your caustic sense of humor by now.Sylvia Marshallnoreply@blogger.com
