yes, sometime the inner climate is exact opposite of the outer one!

This certainly was the most creative and philosophical 55 of the week Devo. It was well worth the wait. We have all missed your amazing insights on people places and things lately. Welcome back!
Have a Wonderful Week-End...G

Holy shit, Batman.

This was fucking fantastic.

Brilliantly done, Your Devoness.

Many a Bravo! going on here for you, from me.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, HOT STUFF.

Can I roll my wasabi in your ginger?

Mona,

I love the way you can write such brief responses to a 55 and still show so much thoughtful interpretation!

G-Man,

I've been working to take it easy on myself after a long time of adding various pressures on top of pressures on top of pressures. I'm easing back into actively blogging, but I'm no longer going to push myself quite so hard. There's just too much going on for me these days.

Thanks for the compliments - as usual, you give me a very nice ego boost! (Although some might say my ego is big enough already ...)

Strumpet,

Glad you liked, and Happy Valentine's Day to you too.

I will cut a heart-shaped piece of ginger just for you! It's even the right color already ...

Love to all,

Devotee
