Today

I love the Eternity. It always smells so fresh and light.

I have the Hypnotic Poison. My husband always calls it poison apple because if the round red bottle.

If it’s warm out i wear Eternity or a Joe Malone or a cheaper, lighter scented bottle from Victoria’s Secret. If it’s chilly out i wear Code or Poison. At night i wear Coco or Valentino. I have an older bottle of my mom’s Channel #5 that i wear when I’m missing her.

Do you take an antidepressant? When i did, i had a feeling of insignificance - being an ant, one of a bajillion beings who have lived or will live on earth and whose death will mean nothing once my immediate circle is also dead. I wasn’t sad about that, just very matter of fact. Here today, gone tomorrow, no biggie. In 120 years the earth will be all new people.

When you’re on a mountain, an empty beach, a forest, etc., you certainly feel the presence of something bigger than yourself. Is that god? I think so. I think John Denver agreed. Not a religious scholar, but he had something with Rocky Mountain High. You can talk to god and listen for his casual reply.
