HEY

You know what’s awesome?

You are awesome.

Yes, totally. Totally awesome.

I see you sometimes, being all down on yourself. Because your life didn’t turn out like you planned it, or because you thought you’d be somewhere important by now, or that success would have come easier if you just worked hard enough for it.

But the truth is, you’re awesome, because you keep getting up in the morning (or the afternoon, or the evening) and doing what you do and surviving and making stuff happen, even if it’s in a small way. And I know there’s days when you don’t even do that, and that’s okay too. You’re still awesome for trying and struggling. You’re awesome for being yourself when it’s the hardest thing to do.

Rain, rain, go away

It’s not the rain, actually. It’s the melting snowbanks creating lakes over top of the layer of (slick) ice created by our last thaw-n-freeze. I wonder how many slip-and-fall concussions the hospitals are dealing with? (This has been a test of the post-by-email functionality)

This morning I woke up to an unsurprisingly inaccurate column from Margaret Wente aimed at Western privileged women, in which she argues that “the war for women’s rights is over. And we won.” Right. She writes:

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

Sat, 12 Feb 2011 10:17:04 -0500

I remember asking my mother to fix my “Lamby” (the stuffed lamb that was my constant childhood companion), because his eyes had worn off. I have a very clear memory of her being in the living room with “some other ladies”, and of her embroidering new eyes on lamby.

My mother doesn’t remember this at all, of course. So I could be making it up.
