... running wild all over the place, spilling at its sides, gasping for breath begging me to stop, saying (in a hoarse whisper), "Tamarika, enough is enough. Let's call it a day. You're wearing me out. I can't go on."
What's so great about self expression, anyway?
Update:
Tamarika Blog, this is for you:
We can say what we mean and mean what we say
We don't like to mess around
But we're there to hold each other up
When we're falling down
Just like an old friend
Putting me on my feet again
Giving me back my pride then
Letting me go
Just like an old friend
Putting me in my place again
Giving me back my hope then
Letting me know that [s] he's an old friend
Tell your blog to take two aspirins and call you in the morning!

Tamar, I read all the links you gave under "hoarse"....you are amazing. I am in awe of your writing. If I could write as well as you, my life would be complete.
You honesty and letting people inn is a gift to your faithful readers. While I was recuperating from my surgery I was unable to keep up with all the blogs I like to read.....I am reading your blogs that I missed during that time, a gift to myself :) I hope you will feel reinvigorated so that you can share with us as you have in the past. It seems that everyone that blogs has these down times, I know that I have.

Mo'a,
Thank you for reading my blog and for your supportive comments. I appreciate that so much.
I was visiting you too yesterday at some point and read about how you are healing. What a difficult time this has been for you. Am so pleased you are feeling stronger again. Hopefully my new post answers your comment a wee bit?
Smiles.

I didn't mean to be flip...I really thought needed a bit of "straighten up and fly right" to stop bothering my friend. Your "message sent" via this post did not equal the message I received.

Dear savtadotty,
So sorry if my "message sent" feels like an over-reaction to your very sweet and supportive comment. I was trying to be humorous and link to you at the same time. Sometimes misunderstandings occur via cyberspace.
I appreciated your words a lot, actually. They helped me write the post that I did today called "Blog or Book" - in order to explain myself more clearly.
