You might have a favorite, but you love them all and can't help thinking that picking a favorite somehow diminishes the others – which are also so great!<br /><br />I don't know what your "secret project of possibility" is, but there are so many of us who would love, love, love to see more of your writing, so if it in any way would increase the odds of that, I'm all in. And, if there is a book to be written, I'm first in line to buy it.<br /><br />Yes, you have some great inspirations in Zoey and your family. But the secret to the wonderfulness of your writing is you. Clearly it can't be easy to bare your soul and write about some of the things that you do, but you never fail to amaze me with your courage, honesty, passion and humor. I have seldom read anyone who can be as funny AND as thought-provoking as you can.<br /><br />OK, a few examples of postings I loved (but just examples, 'cause I still love your other ones, too, OK?): <br /><br />Every letter to Zoey, from "You Are My Sunshine," to "3," to "4." Not only are they all testaments to the beauty of motherhood, but it makes me verklempt to think Zoey will one day be able to look back and read these treasures.<br /><br />The blog you did as your mother in the '70s was wonderful. "Scenes from a Kitchen Table," where you were testing Zoey to see if she would choose Pretty, Smart, Nice or Funny. The "Jumper on the Bridge." Any of your postings about Costa Rica, and writing about your 20-Year Reunion.<br /><br />Sure, your talent for finding the utterly bizarre images on the internet and posting your musings about them are funny, but the writings about you and your family are what really make my day. One of the hardest things for a writer to do is find the extraordinary in the ordinary. You do this incredibly well.<br /><br />Whatever your future may hold, please promise all of us that your writing will be accessible. I don't care what we have to do or pay to read it, but you're not just another little writer in a sea of bloggers. You have a special talent, and so many of us can't get enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-90409022779394887912010-08-11T11:57:21.995-07:002010-08-11T11:57:21.995-07:00Like most everyone else here, I love ALL your post...Like most everyone else here, I love ALL your posts because you are a GIFTED writer.

But I will say that what first came to mind had something with Sunshine in the title and it was an old post from long ago.. it had to do with Zoey and her growing up (?).. it might have been a letter written to her? I went back looking for it and found "3" from April 2009 that you wrote for her 3rd birthday and I got teared up and have to say it's also a favorite. I was recently there for the birth of my sister's first baby, and existing in a space without language is such a beautiful way to describe the indescribable. <br /><br />But like everyone else here, I love it all. Truly.

Precious. Also liked the one where you said to 2008 (I think that was the year), "Fuck you." But this is just what comes to mind at the moment. I love learning new words, like "craptastic."
