After reading my sister's entry for today, I am at a loss for words. How she became so eloquent is beyond my knowledge. I always thought that she was good at math and sciences; the subjects that I greatly lacked in, but it turns out that Karyl certainly has a gift.

I'm astounded by the way she can intricately weave together words like a complex tapestry painting a picture for all to see. Yet, on other occasions, her words melt together like Velveeta cheese spiced with wit. I'm almost dumbfounded. After reading her entry I feel like a second grader writing her first real "story".

I don't say these words maliciously, quite the contrary. I am just pondering how I can even come close to writing something so profound and thought-provoking as what she wrote. I don't think I have the capacity to even come close.

Am I jealous? No. Am I envious? You bet! I have joked that as I've gotten older, I've gotten "dumber". In other words, my brain cells have began to take a permanent vacation, but I am feeling seriously inadequate in many areas. I know I have talents, but it seems that they are becoming fewer and further between. And, I used to think that writing was one of those talents. Perhaps I was wrong.

Well, at least I still have my HEALTH!!!! :-)

Thought Of The Day: (Inspired by Karyl's entry and more so correlates to it) "Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting."--Princess Elizabeth Asquith Bibesco, poet and writer

Until next time... peace, love, & HEALTH!!!
