roll with it

a bit of swelling to the right ~ 08.24.07

There are days when unexpected things happen and, generally, we roll with it. Today I literally rolled with it (and so did my ankle) when I stepped in a hidden hole (grass was covering it). A pop and a crack preceeded my fall, ouch. As I type, my foot is elevated on the back of the couch. Ice, compression, elevation and rest are on my agenda for this lovely Friday evening.

love

"We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness." ~Ellen Goodman

"Our love, or our lack of it... will in the end be an expression of ourselves: of who we think we are, of what we want to be, of what we think we are here for." ~Thomas Merton

"We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh." ~Agnes Repplier
