One that made me cry:
For Maggie, Who Lost Her Lobster

Life is hard and I’m doing the best I can. So I just take inventory and love myself something FIERCE and then start over. Every single moment I am someone brand new.

One that made me want to watch a movie:
Shall We Go Together and Look for Her?

At the further end of the field, behind the barbed wires, far away from the others, a woman was looking at me, alone, fair, all dressed in black. … In her clear eyes, one could read a mute intense despair. I put my hand through the barbed wires and she seized my arm, just like a shipwrecked person would clutch at a floating board.

And a few things that made me laugh:

• Dooce’s Do Unto Others

• Wrinkled Mommy’s Life Illustrated: Bath time for Mom
