Brain Droppings
Ahh, the title of an off-color book by one of my heroes, George Carlin. (Is anything that man does not off-color?)

Y'know, you anticipate summer all year long. Then it's here and it flies by. It always reminds me of a poem by another one of my heroes, the late great Shel Silverstein:

Here comes summer,
Here comes summer,
Chirping robin, budding rose.
Here comes summer,
Here comes summer,
Gentle showers, summer clothes.
Here comes summer
Here comes summer —
Whoosh — shiver — there it goes.

Fall is really my favorite time of the year. I love fall clothes, fall colors, apple picking, Halloween, crisp air, burning leaves, the show of the New England foliage. There's just something about it that appeals to me. And no one does fall like we do here in these six states in the corner of the country.

Had breakfast with M with an old, old friend this morning. She told me about all the people in HS I couldn't have cared less about that she has stayed in touch with. But we had a great time. I miss having girlfriends.

M ordered me the Lucinda Bassett program, "Attacking Anxiety." Lucinda is yet another one of my heroes. She overcame severe, debilitating panic attacks; agorophobia; and depression to help others, and has developed a program with therapists that helps change the way you think. As an anxiety and depression sufferer since I was eight years old, but with an optimistic, hopeful heart, I really am looking forward to starting the four-month program. I've lost 10 pounds on WW and am trying to lose 15 more; why not work on the inside of me as well? I'll keep you posted.
