Bright and Shiny

Bright and Shiny. Meredith Grey used this phrase to refer to her almost-second life-- she almost drowned, she lived, she felt like she had a second shot to life ergo "bright and shiny." I think her bright and shiny self did not survive the succeeding episodes though.
Well I feel bright and shiny too. Not refurbished, not repaired. Brand New. Squeaky clean. Bright and Shiny. My old self tucked away, or should I say tacked away on the Cross. And this new one's not easily bullied by so-called reality. This IS reality.
What a new beginning 2008 truly is. ♥


Our group in last week's Women's Encounter-- indeed the best so far!
