I just LOVE the way you twist the negatives of your life into positives.<br /><br />I don't have sisters, but I do have wonderful cyber-sisters, which are AWESOME and we never have disagreements. LOL.<br /><br />I have two older brothers, so different from me, I sometimes wonder if we are really related. With my parents gone we drifted. I try to keep in touch but it's always one sided. Not fun... no story here on my part. You need to have communication to have a story and although you have misunderstandings with your sisters, you are still communicating.<br /><br />Five weeks and counting....

I'm the oldest of two and we are as different as night and day.<br /><br />And yet...we are more alike than we'd like to admit :)<br /><br />Embracing emotion is when I write my best. Usually negative emotion, but when harnassed for good (rather than dystroying the universe as we know it...) emotions can turn into visceral writing that moves our readers and helps us, as writers, cope with what's going on around us.<br /><br />Hope today is better for you!<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-2186059404650126562011-09-28T09:41:31.192-05:002011-09-28T09:41:31.192-05:00I am the youngest of three sisters, I know exactly...I am the youngest of three sisters, I know exactly how you feel. My life is dramatically different from my theirs and I constantly feel their lack of desire to understand my choices. Embrace all the ugly you can, because behind it shines truth and vulnerability that makes you characters live.
