13 Flakes Fall in Place
1. I got a Christmas ecard from Nancy Pelosi and one from the French Spa designer at Primland Resort.
2. I forgot today was Thursday because I forgot yesterday was Wednesday and that Tuesday was Tuesday and so on.
3. I love the name Yellow Dubmarine for THIS Beatles reggae tribute band that I found because it was posted on the side of my Facebook wall.
4. I once bought a whole box of fortune cookies so I could find a fortune message I liked.
5. I forgot today was Thursday because all I knew was that today is the day I need to finish a story deadline and set up interviews for two more to be done by Sunday night.
6. A very cool (pun intended) snowflake slide show is HERE.
7. The only New Year’s resolution I could come up with last year was to stand up straight and resist the recently developed urge to lean against the sink when I’m combing my hair and brushing my teeth.
8. This year’s resolution builds on that theme: Whenever I find myself using the railing to pull myself up the stairs, I let go and run the rest of the way.
9. It’s something of a zen koan to me that self forgetting leads to self awareness and by that I mean when I lose myself in an activity or in giving to others, I’m more likely to find the truest me.
10. The woodstove howls like a banshee / for the copperhead I killed in the fall / when it crawled from my dream into my kitchen / and laid at the threshold of girl and crone / The washing machine hums like a bard / spins the tale of a black bear intruder / that left paw prints in my garden / fresh scat at my front porch door / Thoughts turn to poisoned confrontations / and boundaries that were crossed / I save seeds for Persephone and grieve for Pandora / whose box is unlocked but too heavy to bring home … More HERE.
11. I feel like Cinderella trying to get this Thirteen Thursday list done by midnight because if I don’t it will turn into Friday and I might be missing a shoe.
12. Today I had a migraine aura. In the past I’ve described an aura as seeing stars but it’s more like not being able to stop seeing the tip of your nose through a rabbit hole kaleidoscope snow globe of broken chards of glass.
13. Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. ~ Dale Carnegie

Charming list! #7 makes me laugh. A lot! And I get migraine auras on occasion, too. No fun! Happy New Year. 🙂

I LOVED that Snowflake Slide Show….It Is Fantastic!
I seem to be one day behind all week, too…I think it has something to do with The Holidays…!

As always a good TT and it isn’t even Friday?

#9 is quite true and always it amazes me how happy I feel when I am totally lost in a project.

Are you getting enough sleep? My migraine aura pops up when I’m not adequately rested.
I know what you mean about being all mixed up on what day it is. But… finally I know it is Friday today! Kiddo goes back to school on Wednesday the 4th. All caught up now.
And #7 made me suck my gut in tighter. Thanks for the reminder. I actually walk around the house as I brush my teeth! Added exercise. 🙂
