Twenty-Nine: Your Mouth is Poison, Your Mouth is Wine


I’m pretty obsessed with The Civil Wars right now.  Their songs are so amazing, and actually helping me deal with yesterday’s outcomes.

I am so grateful for the sun.  It’s actually getting WARM outside.  Oh, I hope we have a nice spring.  We deserve a nice spring.  The sun is definitely helping me avoid giving in to the depressive feelings that cross my heart.  That, and the amazing people in my life.  I really am blessed, I think.

Today I really wanted to fly away.  Fly away to North Carolina to see my sistahs.  I had to fight the urge to turn towards the airport instead of the office today.  But I silenced the cravings before they turned into impulses and drove to work.  It was actually pretty quiet today.  Another thing to be thankful for.

I am seriously considering flying out though, next month.  I can’t promise anything right now.  But I am seriously considering it.  I want to see my sistahs in real life, and visit my oldest friend and her mom.  It’s been way too long.  Plus, I will need an escape from life here after tax season.  Although it hasn’t been too nutty this year yet, I know we’re in for a tumultuous next few weeks.  The storm is coming.

Today I listened to the Poison and Wine song like a million times.  I love it.  And it’s so true – our mouths can be poisonous, but they can also be lovely, like wine.  I really try to keep the poison from forming, but sometimes it sneaks up.  Just being honest.  I guess that’s one thing I can work on now.  And it’s so easy to see the poison in other people, and sometimes it outweighs the wine.  And sometimes it’s hard to turn away because you want to accept all parts of a person.  But sometimes it’s not worth fighting for.  Sigh.
