okay, its been so long since I've added anything to what words make. And I'm trying not to feel bad about it because a lot of life has happened between when I last posted and now. I started a new job, I had a brief separation from my husband, reconciled, and decided to sell the house we had lived in for five years, moved out west to the suburbs and are finally settled. and in between and all combined are bouts of depression and anxiety.
its always funny when a phrase or saying hits you just right. you may have heard it hundreds of time before and it didn't mean anything until it did. until the exact right words were used, or until the exact right time you needed to hear it.
do you know what I mean?
recently, I've had a few of these mundane epiphanies, I'll share one with you now. when I was younger, high school probably, my grandma started to feel the aches and pains of getting older. she had back pain and wore, swore by these pain patches. she started to feel her mortality more, maybe? I can't presume to know her thoughts like that, but, you know, she just was feeling it, something. and she would say attitude is my buzz word. also known as life is what you make it; a smile goes a long way; ad infinitum. while journaling the other day, the power behind my grandma's saying really hit. It's not hollow, it's in saying the words to yourself, creating that attitude, that buzz and bringing it into your every day. when you can, when you remember. I don't have to tell you all this, it is after all, a mundane epiphany.
to sum up a lot of disparate ideas, I've done a lot and very little since I've last visited what words make, and, while I will continue to write reviews and share them here, I may also use this space to process and explore. what words make.
