Borrowed words today... from a comment posted by Karen at Fran's Sacred Ordinary....
"An excellent rant, Fran.
This line struck me the most:'Always trying to find meaning in everything - Sometimes there isn't meaning.'
I agree with this. Sometimes there's just acceptance of things as they are. Trying to find meaning where there is no particular meaning can be as frustrating as trying to find pattern and order in a carton of spilled eggs. Sometimes things just are. Brownian motion. Random. Maybe that's all that there is and occasionally our pattern-seeking minds see something that looks meaningful, organized and comforting and we seize upon it. I just don't know anymore. Maybe it's just not possible to say this and this, therefore we can predict the certainty of that. Maybe the best we can do is to just observe, with acceptance, this. And this. And this.
Thanks for the mention--and yes, much as I analyze things, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Oh, how did you like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? I almost rented it today.

Fran... I had a lot of fun with the 'Sisterhood' books... and we just watched the movie from Netflix. One of those things that all in all is very light, but still has some real nuggets in it. I recommend it when you're in a mood for something that's purely escapist :)
