You know, you're so right! It's been seeping into my consciousness the past few days that I'm living in the past. And that's how I usually know I'm moving into whatever is the next phase of grief--I get bored and frustrated with being wounded. Or perhaps being about the wounds instead of being about the possibilities of life.

I believe I have read The Last Lecture, but found it very painful. Maybe it's time to read it again. It came out just after the bomb.

And you're right about the passion, too. I am a passionate person. But I've stuffed it for so long I had fogotten that. Too many years of trying to earn xH's love--and then just trying to earn his approval, and I forgot who I was. It's time to reinvent Hoosiermama.
