- Go to Do I Wear A Sign On My Forehead That Says Lean On Me?

If you are wearing a sign, you're in good company. I've found the level of support here quite wonderful, and it's good to read that you won't have to shoulder the income burden on your own. Good luck with the commission; fingers crossed for you.

I was feeling down when i came to your post. Reading it made me realize that we women have similair problems, the comments have said it all: you are entitled to your day in bed, but you will get up tomorrow feeling like getting back into the ring, that's how we think. good luck and God bless you.

"Hey, got fifty bucks til next payday?"
"I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a spec article today!"
"How about a ride...to Poughkeepsie?". (Who thought up that name ANYWAY?) .
Leaned on enough? Lean back, and be specific if it's a guy!! (We can be such slugs sometimes...).

and Azur, not only what Pat B said, but, not pushing that dead vehicle
alone anymore should make it better.
We bring these lives of humungous burdens upon ourselves, volunteering to take it all on, silently, stoically, Spartan mothers and wives, we. It all does make fabulously talented, strong and flexible women out of us, but it weakens and deprives those in our immediate circle.
We are stronger when periodically admitting to weaknesses and embracing a day in bed crying now and then.
GOOD Job. Finish by crying in front of the mirror as that puts it all back into perspective and brings reality back into the mix. Walk away giggling and wiping you face with a refreshing little towel and then Mount Up again, take up your damned spear, put on your helmet and paste that Lean on Me sign back on to your forehead.
I love you. None of us gets enough, nor realizes that we have it all already until, well probably until St. Peter is speaking with us one and one and personal, up there at those Gates.

Buck up. Good luck. Everything will work out. Have I missed a cliche?
Seriously, Azur, I wish you all the luck in the world...

Azur, with your professionalism and integrity, you will get there. Have faith in yourself. Once the editor accepts your book, you may have some more editing to do - that isn't a big deal, is it?

Re: the sign on the forehead...
I think the "lean on me" sign is below the neck -- it's that part of the anatomy that indicates you are female, and therefore strong, willing and capable beyond reason or belief. And flexible as a Cirque du Soleil acrobat, bending yourself to the needs of others... you've doubtless earned your day of self-nurturing, a necessary activity that is often put aside because of other things that lean.
I hope you get good feedback on the writing and your partner's interview pans out. :)pat

I'll keep you in my thoughts
and hope the news is good. Just pull the covers over your head today and hopefully tomorrow will be easier.
