Loquacious Magpies

Dear Tara,

We all run away sometimes.  I think it’s a defense we all have inherent in us.  I will run away from days like today where everywhere I turn, there is another hurdle to leap over.  But sometimes I just don’t have to energy to leap.  Sometimes, I just need to turn away for myself.  When things are really tough for me, and it takes me a while to get going in the morning, I ask myself, if I could do anything today, what would I do?  Then I draw that day into existence. I let myself feel sorry for myself.  Maybe even cry a little.  But it is that day that is so important that I treat myself like I treat Elizabeth.  We all need to be treated like infants every so often. Don’t you think?

And if I am going to keep to my word, I need to get some rest tonight.  It’s time to put myself to bed. 

Forever your Friend,

Bess
