I want to feel like a castle with fireworks happening overhead, even though I feel more like a sixty-one inch piece of fabric with rapidly fraying ends and it might all unravel with one more wash.

  2. I feel like someone or something (head cold) threw a pail of water on my sparkle. It is a beautiful day, weather wise, we were off school, and here I sit with no sparkle. I love your image, also. We all have our off days. I hope and pray that tomorrow starts you on a fresh page.

  3. I love the metaphor of this post, an unraveling piece of fabric... even on the delicate cycle. It's Friday and I'm frayed. I hope we all feel like new by Monday.

  4. My mom always said, "My get up and go, got up and went." I love the images you used, especially frayed fabric. Hope you find some sparkle over the weekend. Maybe you should buy some, it comes in pretty bottles, labeled, "Champagne."

  5. The unraveling fabric on delicate cycle was a very clear image. The idea of "sparkle" is really neat. I've never heard someone describe their feelings that way. I hope you have a relaxing weekend, can recharge, and get your sparkle back.
