relief is a simple joy

It is always good to remember that we are largely the person responsible for our fate.  We can choose to put our lives on public display like the modern television reality shows.  I think that there is an exhibitionist in all of us.  I believe that we all want to matter or there is simply a desire to say something.  But I also believe that retiring from public display will come unexpectedly when you just simply decided that it is enough. 

Monsters and Gremlins

I have monsters or gremlins sleeping over in my room almost every night.  The monsters generally live in when they sleep over.  They scatter things, pull out books from the basket and leave them everywhere.  They leave their sneeze sprinkles on the pillows.  Sometimes, they take off wearing our shirts.

The gremlins are sweet-looking little things but they have the most deadly farts!  They are like snakes slithering and crossing over each other until they are one big knot in the middle of the night.  One sits up in the dark (the genuine gremlin) and sees her grandfather sleeping with gloves.  She pulls one finger at a time while chanting "funny, hands", wears the gloves while saying the same two words as she fades in the dark again.

As we all know, monsters and gremlin are sweet while asleep.
