Do you guys mind if I stand on a soapbox for moment?
I saw the movie "Big Hero 6" today.
I had been struggling with my emotions after having a flashback, and so I decided to do something to shake myself out of it rather than stew, and so I went to the movie.
It is an awesome movie, but what hit me was the themes, which I found pretty profound for a Disney film - grief, vengeance, and justice.
After the movie was over, I began to think about it, and I realized that although I don't have any superpowers, I too am faced with the choice between wanting to hurt those who hurt me vs finding a better answer.
And I choose the better answer - I want to make a difference, to help others.
How can I help others? Well, one way for sure is I can use what I have - my imagination and writing - to maybe let people know they arent alone, to maybe give them a little break from their problems, or maybe even help stoke the fires of compassion in my readers, maybe even inspire them to make a difference too.
And then I realized if I could make a difference, so could everyone who reads this blog.
You can make a difference folks.
You can be heroes.
To quote one of my favorite heroes, Angel from the show "Angel", ...
"Lets go to work!"

i think of you
as a hero already. You befriended me and all my problems.
Now if you would just take back these darn girlie germs of yours...
If I am a hero, so are you
and the girlie germs were yours!
sigh
Dorothy! You know full well that they were yours long before we met.
Now then be a good girl and just accept the truth.
I'll be a good girl if you will
you still gave me the girlie germs though. I was a total tomboy before you came along !
note
you said tomboy, meaning you were already a girl. Meaning that the girl germs could ONLY originate at you.
Hence im right.
nope, they were all yours !
now, be good, or Papa will spank us both!
but
it's your fault for fibbing!
I'm not fibbing! You have girlie germs!
ask Gran-Tante Ruth!
Girlie Germs!
Can I have some of the girlie germs? I don't have enough... :P
Lisa
Is my name being taken in vain again?
Do you young ones really want me to arbitrate your continuous to do over girly germs? You are both seriously infected with them & I believe that it matters not who infected who!!
Just the same it is the season to be jolly and so I must rule for peace & good tidings for the sake of all who love you both during this season of love and good cheer. May you both sit down and enjoy yourselves at least until little Christmas (January 6th).
My good wishes to you both - in particular - and to all those others who enjoy the fruits of the labours of all the very talented writers on this site.
A very Merry Christmas and a happy & healthy 2015 to all! And to all, a good night.
Ruth
May the sun always shine on your parade
