Love Fuzzy Heart: Now Playing

Now playing-
It reads
like a rambling haiku 
as writ
by lower case alphabet afficiando
e.e. cummings: 

rita hayworth shoulder bed
bad taste clothing - fashion
over forty- fashion over
40 blog

love fuzzy heart
this is your life:
man in red plaid


40 year old lifestyle blog
40 year old style blog
blogs for women over 40

This, being the most recent
Keyword Search,
the cha cha line of words + phrases
of how people found me
here on the web. 
This blog. My life. 

How succinct and telling-
Rita Hayworth, 
a man, a plaid, and love.

And piled on, my all aged obsession 
with being over 40. 
Forty, forty. Over
and forty. The litany 
forty-forty-forty- it sounds a bit like a train
gearing up for a hill. Over 
and forty, forty, forty. 
Are we yet
over the hill? I feel

Steely and determined to climb. 
This search, so very much me-
the keyword assertions so baldly bold
with my gaseous ambitions
tethered to the gravity of real life;
pedestrian panderings
on the Life Quixotic

Now playing the visionary version
a virtual silver screen
starring this girl 
cast as a lovable but zany, 
madcap spinster, doing her turn
as the Latina Lucille Ball
meets Rita Hayworth meets 
Isabella Rosselini
meets

a handsome stranger. 
And there you are, man in red plaid.
There you are. 

Thank you all for your kind comments and messages. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled onto such an amazing community. I felt isolated and fearful, and the positive messages are so touching and encouraging. Thank you. 

Also a thank you to the powerhouses that stepped up and took the SHOP SECONDHAND FIRST pledge!
