It is that time of year again when I feel the urge to write. Sometimes something enlightening will hit me and I am in the car and don't have a pen, or sometimes I am laying in bed and the pillows are just right so I don't want to move and mess them up.
So I created a spot. A place of my own to write my private thoughts, and then make them public if I so choose.
It will be bedtime soon, and after the day that I've had, bed will be the highlight of today.
Tomorrow, I have the day off work but I have a lot to accomplish. I need some kind of motivational tool. Some sweet treat or peaceful feeling when I get where I am going.
I went to Walmart this afternoon. I was so depressed. Just being at Walmart adds to my malaise but aside from that I just couldn't shake the loneliness. Everyone that I make eye contact with seemed to be in a grouchy mood. Except for when I was in the shoe aisle and a small boy came up to me and smelled my arm. I said "hello there". He petted me again and turned back to his dad. Immediately I detected Autism. Surely only a rude woman would ask "hey is your kid autistic?" So I waited till they passed me again and it my sweetest voice I said "Excuse me Sir, I was just curious if your son there was autistic?" He smiled and nodded Yes. I smiled reassuringly, and told him my son was too! We chatted briefly and then moved on through the shoes.
That kid had no idea how bad I needed that pat on the arm. Well then.
Its that time... time to get the kids in the bed.
