My Take on Love

Fact: I think better on paper. So this is a little something I scribbled in my paper notebook that is better than anything I can ever write on the computer.

"But I've always seen love as a quiet and calm creature, curled up in a corner on a pile of soft things getting ready for a nap. And I guess that's really how it approached me. It wasn't a bold declaration from the rooftops made by a gentleman in a top hat and coattails to a backdrop of a starlit night and fireworks. Oh, and there were no red roses either. It was an embrace in an ordinary car, it was warm inside and cold out there and I was ready for a nap and dozing off until those words hit me like a light tap on a person who'd been rocking back on her heels and it rendered me off balance and the change in equilibrium snapped me wide awake.
So maybe on the days when I feel like bringing an extra dose of love into my life, date nights or anniversaries, maybe I should stop looking for excitement and just look for that pile of soft things. And a nap."


And I think I'm onto something. A theme for this blog? It is called scribblings, after all. I think I will use it to collect pieces of writing I've done on paper. But I'd be sad if I gave up entirely my computer musings too. Hmm. Let's call it a work in progress, and call it good.
