I had an epiphany in the shower this morning (sorry.. too much information?).......
Thinking about how I came into this world with an inborn affinity for extremes....
It's got to be either hot or cold - NEVER lukewarm...
Tea: HOT Showers: HOT & COLD Relationships: INTENSE
I have never had any patience for bland food, "casual" conversation, factory-born
jewelry, depth-less books, or the mind-numbing noise of the world...
Why would I expect my life to be anything but bipolar?
I find myself here, THIS morning, PROFOUNDLY grateful for the challenges that I have been given, the trials, hardships, loss, and even pain beautifully woven into my life...
because of it I have been able to experience all of the warmth the universe has to offer.. great JOY and learning and discovery and adventure, and most importantly, the love of my amazing family. I am truly, infinitely blessed, and I KNOW that I would not have wanted it any other way!
So here's a toast to craziness....
I love you all

Andrea,
I raise a glass to that! That is so refreshing and true. I think we all have a little of that, and it is a good reminder. I will miss you over Thanksgiving. I hope we can see you at Christmas. I Love you

Wow! We are sisters. That is the story of my life. Thanks for so beautifully putting it into words. I love the way you write. Perhaps, you should entertain the idea of writing a book, seriously. I love you!
