Sorry and congrats!canadafreeze says,
Clever ... open a different door next time:-)Dragonflower says,
I just love it when sixes take on a life of their own, and can mean so many different things. Writing this, I was thinking about myself, knocking on someone's door who wasn't interested in my love for them. The result of this unrequited love has been a locking up of my own heart, so that if Love were to come calling, I might pretend to not be home. Not wanting to risk getting hurt again and so forth.Surprisingly, today I bought myself a beautifully artistic framed photograph by a local artist called "The Entrance." It is of an old door, with an old timey door knob and latch. It just called out to me. I didn't equate it with my memoir until I got home tonight and read both comments from JAD and CF. Here's to a new year, with an open heart, a different door, and more joy! :)
