The countdown:
10. My children will never be made to feel unloved or unaccepted, at least as far as I can help it.
9. "George Washington was a dirty liar."
8. I'm going to chain myself to the state capitol building until someone holds a new constitutional convention.
7. Pearls are classy.
6. I've started listening to terribly sappy love songs. And smiling. A lot.
5. My life finally started up again.
4. "I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind." I mean, really.
3. I get to see my favorite uncle on Saturday. Last time I talked to him, he told me that he would give me away at my wedding if my own father wouldn't "step up and be a man." I teared up a little.
2. I think I'm starting to believe in fate. Or maybe it's my attempt at optimism.
1. She's got a good hold on me.
If you want to understand exile, I mean true exile, read Kundera. If you want to understand loneliness, read Rand. If you don't want to understand at all, read Vonnegut.

I'm glad your life started up again. I knew it would at some point but someone telling you it will sure doesn't shed the light on it as much as when you finally walk in to the light.
