#reverb10 Day 10 – Wisdom

The prompt:

WISDOM:

What is the wisest decision you made this year and how did it play out?

Brought to you by Susannah Conway

You know I carried you around with me and after a while, you sank to the bottom of my subconscious like a stone plummets to the bottom of the pool.

There you stayed; heavy and ever present.

I had the luxury of forgetting sometimes and I’d question the sudden lightness to my spirit, the buoyancy of my mood and, with an abruptness that took my breath away, remember and feel the anger coil ominously in my stomach.

#reverb10 Day 7 – Community

Today, Cali Harris asks:

Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011?

Since #reverb10 started, I have met Kim – my kindred soul in Canada, who knits beautiful scarves, takes beautiful photos and writes beautiful words.

I have met Patti – who makes me laugh inappropriately at my desk at work, rocks the hell out of a purple wig and sledges in the snow.

I have met Karen – who bends rules, knits clothes that are dripping with awesomesauce and has a the kind of bubbly spirit that enriches my daily duties.

I have met Kelly – whose simple and heartfelt posts leave me speechless with their power and their easiness and their downright flawlessness.
