Blessed I Be 31 July 2007

Walking past my favorite church in Washington Heights, Ft. Washington Collegiate, I saw this sign last Saturday:

I’ve never actually been to a service there but, boy, do they throw a good old-fashioned basement bazaar. Sadly, they didn’t have one last weekend as a Pixie loves me some one-stop shopping & giving back to the community. Talk about a guilt-free zone!

Fortunately for me, I am so blessed & I know it. But, because I might not say it enough, today I shall publicly proclaim my gratitude for my two new lovely ladies, Terry & Michele. Last Friday, we three proved again that 6-tits are better than almost anything. Here they are looking cute as ever:

We started the evening with… Evening. While the critics are mixed on the flick, this middle-aged (yikes!) weepy woman sometimes craves a catharsis on lost love. Is that so wrong?

After a few drinks in the park, we traipsed off, (oddly still on the UES), to Arabelle on the final night of Restaurant Week. While the food was all good, mine was so yummy it was picture-worthy. I’m not sure how much they usually run but these were some tasty ribs:

So tonight as I count my blessings, fabulous friends & fine food are at the top of the list. But because it’s all so important, “Thanks, God, for all that I have, all that I am & all that I can be.”
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was,
‘thank you,’ that would suffice.”
~ Meister Eckhart (c. 1260 – 1327)
German Christian mystic

Love to Lindsay Lohan

Despite the train-wreck that is her life, I’m putting my Pixie Dust towards loving Lindsay. This is a hard one for me, having so predicted her white-trash ways would catch up with her & she’d end up in a mug-shot (again) on Us. However, she hardly needs one more annoying “I told you so,” especially not from someone dedicated (generally) to being a positive voice in the world.

The lost souls of Hollywood, like everyone around us, need our support & good vibes willed their way. Sure, it ain’t easy to muster up sympathy but compassion, compassion I can do. After all, who among us hasn’t had a few too many & ended up on some sort of walk of shame? Ok, ok, so we didn’t do the mad-dash car chase hammered (Thank God) or have coke that was “not ours” in possession en route to incarceration but nonetheless.

So tonight, I gather the goodness within me & send Lindsay, Britney (with her sweet, innocent spawn of K-Fed) & Kate compassion for doing the best they can & hope for the future that they find a better way. Sometimes a girl’s gotta bounce back to rock bottom (a few times) before the message hits home. It took cancer to wake my ass up so I should know. Let’s all pray the hard highway gets shorter even if it takes a miracle. What do you say?
