I may not be a hopeful person, not in general, but this afternoon I do feel relief. Great relief. A Mitt Romney presidency was simply too bizarre and horrific to even imagine. And if I must hope, here is a hope I believe is worth hoping for, that the Republican party has learned that, if they want the White House back, it's time to stop building ( Read more... )

Oh the self esteem, I understand 100%. For what it's worth, I have a friend whose birthday is this weekend and one thing she asked for is recommendations for good fiction. I just suggested The Drowning Girl to her.

Stay warm, we have snow here.

, I have just about enough self-esteem to fill a thimble

some days its all you need, because its really a Magic Thimble, and its a lot larger than it looks, and its really kick ass when you examine it. Too much self esteem, and it takes up our humanity, too little, and it doesnt float your pirate fleet there on the Thimble Sea.

Dont *know* you, never met you in person, but You are a Jewel, and Spooky is Beautiful.

I know it doesn't matter that some of us think you are wonderful. I have people in my life that tell me that and it doesn't make my self-esteem needle bounce higher so I can guess you might feel the same. Despite the fact that it might have no effect, I have to tell you that I admire you greatly. I found Silk in a Barnes and Noble and loved it for many reasons. Your writing grabbed me, drew me in and hold me hostage still.

I've read your LJ for some time and I admire the way you keep on working at your craft and at your life. You have your struggles and you face them with a combination of wit, grit and grace, or so it seems from here. I hope someday that you, and I and others who struggle with self-esteem will find our way out from that particular cloud and come to consider ourselves as worthy as those around us.

The RomneyDeathRally hashtag feed kept me highly amused through the last couple of days.
