This week I’ve decided to add something short and fun to finish off the week. The Friday Five is a collection of five things (this week it’s things I’ve learned), 4 items in a list, and one fun picture. I’m exploring this as I go. Hope you enjoy it too!
1.The shadow of a tree and its leaves on the wall in the early morning sunlight is one of the prettiest things to see when I write.
2. To cry openly lets other people feel they have permission to cry, too.
3. Remembering someone’s birthday is a big deal. Do it whenever you can.
4. Don’t discuss the racy/violent nature of Game of Thrones on an airplane, even if you just finish the novel and want to talk immediately. You will embarrass someone.
5.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

13 Jul 2012So glad you liked in, Lainie! I’m so glad I married someone who likes playing with costumes. This Halloween we’re thinking of Mario and Luigi. Occasionally I belt across the house, “It’s me! MARIO!” to which he replies “Imma Luigi!”

13 Jul 2012You are very welcome, Jeff. I’m glad it freed you. I am learning to stop apologizing when I cry. Why apologize when emotions are strong? They’re a beautiful thing.
