Today was for standin’ in the kitchen, cryin’ at a Country song, while makin’ lasagna – one for my family and one for a friend’s. It snuck up on me. That song about fathers and daughters. Caught me unaware and ill prepared as it took me back through all those early years. I didn’t know those tears were waitin’, hoverin’ beneath the surface. Some days are just like that. One lasagna delivered with garlic bread and salad for the sides. One lasagna is in the oven. Ours. And those damn dishes are waitin’ in the sink. The day is still young. I’ll do ‘em…soon. ~ Janean

borderline

Yesterday I said to my mother, “My life feels like a Country song today.”

I sang a few bars in summary and she shared my grin. 

My mom’s always said, “You can laugh, or you can cry.”

I’m thankful yesterday was for hysterical laughter with only borderline hysteria.
