The Quiet

I'm feeling a bit pressured lately -
lots on my mind and in my heart and also an underlying loneliness...
it may be the change of seasons
or the realization that my kids are growing up too too quickly
or a depression trying to push it's way up and out.
Whatever it is, I'm taking a break.
I'll be back to blog in a week or two.
I just need to be quiet for awhile.
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

    I just wandered in today, a visitor via Christine's Epiphany blog. I can so relate to having to pull back, but your final quote on your poem is the perfect remedy. Whereever else you may be going, that phrase will keep you focused in the right way. You're in my prayers...

It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions.

I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well.
