A word to my flist

[cactuswatcher]

I just wanted to say to everyone that although I don't always respond to everyone I do try to look at every entry. Lately particularly, there have been some very sad, very compelling and very wondrous entries from my friends here. Just wanted to let people know that just because I can't think of the right thing to say, does mean I not thinking of you when times for you are tough, times for you are amazing or times for you are just simply living to the next day.

To each of you, be well.

That can be the toughest thing, knowing what to say to an emotionally compelling entry, especially when the news is sad in some way. You worry you won't say the right thing, so you don't say anything at all. And then you think perhaps you *should* say something to let the person know you care and are thinking of them, but then you're back to finding the right words. I've struggled with this many times.

Even with something happy like what Deeva is going through, sometimes anything I can think of to say to her just sounds dumb. I really feel like I've been neglecting her by not saying much, but I read every word.

Yeah, just the other day, she, I and Fresne had lunch and the first words out of my mouth were "Oh, look! You're starting to show!"

I had foot-in-the-mouth as an appetizer to my burrito.
