I'm afraid it only makes me deeply cynical-- with a few exceptions. <BR/><BR/>I was thinking about what you said when I wrote the post today--feeling a bit non-traditional...<BR/><BR/>The blog I admire belongs to Lara at www.withinwithout.org,if I have that right. You could spend about a year there, I think, wonderful.

I agree that humor is what makes so much of family liveable -- and I should clarify that the subtle mocking is also done of my own sibling dramas -- I only considered giving up the in-law portion because I'm a realist! Day 4 of no salt! (We also, in Lent, seek to transform something -- usually I give up secular radio in favor of Christian radio at least one day a week because of the immediate change in my spirit and the closeness I feel to God by listening to His messages during my car time! I tried "no radio" and my busy humming mind doesn't work that way!)tomzgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565112745553352354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11290247.post-1141410678979627732006-03-03T13:31:00.000-05:002006-03-03T13:31:00.000-05:00Thank you for the compliment-- I said something si...Thank you for the compliment-- I said something similar to another blogger last week. (and I'll tell you who it is, if you are interested...)<BR/><BR/>I wonder, sometimes, if wit isn't the best survival tool for family living-- but then, I've not been accused of gentleness, lately or ever. My bite is pretty severe, I'm afraid. <BR/><BR/>I'm more curious, in a Lenten way, of what it means to transform, versus "give up." Scott and I are hoping to transform to our former sizes-- that's not too deep-- but if we feel better, who knows what else we might tackle? So the question would be, for me, is there a way to tranform wit, that survival-sharpness, to good use? Or is it okay enough to use it for blowing off steam (and it might be). <BR/><BR/>I say you were brave to consider it. And good luck with the salt.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795891854497157302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11290247.post-1141407561831693362006-03-03T12:39:00.000-05:002006-03-03T12:39:00.000-05:00Your blog is what I wish mine were!

For Lent, I was going to give up the slight mocking of my in-laws that is my way of life when I discuss them to my mom and DH. But MIL's niece just got arrested and has a Pandora's box of stuff going on that I get to watch them handle. So I decided to give up adding salt to my food instead. How bad of a person am I?tomzgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565112745553352354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11290247.post-1141404288476496762006-03-03T11:44:00.000-05:002006-03-03T11:44:00.000-05:00How often I too have enjoyed those moments of "ser...How often I too have enjoyed those moments of "serendipity"--the best ones are those God provides. The other night I was watching the last segment of Charles Dickens' "Bleak House" on PBS' Masterpiece Theater. While visiting the grave of his wife, Sir Lester says, "If only she knew just how much I loved her, and how little I cared for what others might say about her." And God spoke to my own heart and said, "If only you knew. . ."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
