before i get to the real post
let me just say a big
thank you
to all y'all for your kind words
of encouragement regarding
my 'awful terrible' post
yes
things have improved
but i'm a little ashamed
of using an entire post
to grouse about my series of minor misfortunes
when i know that they are really just
irritations
speed bumps
hassles
in the 'great scope of life'
(as my friend kelli jo would say)
not serious
so i am thankful now
for those quasi-rotten days
for they serve to remind me
that my life is chock-full of
blessings
and you who read my writings here
and take the time to make cheerful comments
are just a few of them
now
back to the post already in progress...

it would seem
that in the past few years
animal prints
have become the new 'black'
in terms of fashion

| italian vogue |
both for wearing

this last one is not really my style
but it's definitely fun and eclectic
and shows the versatility of
animal prints
