You're in your happy place again sis :)
Catch 22 every which way you turn isn't it?
Hope you find a way through it all Cathy.
Lovely writing.
Nice job Cathy. I hope you find your road map. Cheers!!
Such beautiful and skilful writing. I hope you find your right answer.
Excellent, Cathy. You describe life to a “T.” As for Catch-22, I have come to believe it is normal these days, in many ways.
It is quite ironic that we often find pleasure in art that might have its root in pain.
This is quite good.
I'm sure the right way will come...
Fantastic and beautiful 55!
painful, poignant;
beautiful and heartbreaking
The fear of making a decision is far, far worse than actually making it. x
No place to turn sometimes. I know the feeling all too well.
What a tough time you're in. I'm really feeling for you--so glad yo have this blog to express some of the pain.
Crap.
Change can be scarey, but not nearly as scarey as the thought of it.
Great writing, as always Cathy
Stay strong.
man you really know how to wrench deep down my insides.

Hang in there girl.
Thanks for playing 55 with us.
Cathy- I've finally spent some time catching up on your blog and really enjoying it!!!!
I have always loved your writing. You are an amazing person, Cathy, and you have more friends and admirers than you probably realize. You make life better for the people that you touch, and life WILL get better for you, my friend.

Yes, that line is the clincher--Catch 22. I get you.
Cathy, I'm inspired to write a Flash 55 again! At first I didn't even realize this was a 55...I just thought it was a great poem!
I'll try to remember this coming Friday...
Thanks for visiting me a while back, I was MIA.
Just checked out your site, you write very well, I love it.
