Stuck

I find I just can't blog.

It's a rare thing for me to not be able to put words to my feelings. Usually I can write my struggles and find definition and clarity through my pen.

Lately though, there are no words.

And with the blog, there is the added pressure of trying to 'entertain' you.

And I just can't do it.

I cannot define my heart right now.

And I cannot continue to start, only to delete because I fear I sound whiny or repetitive.

So I just will not write.

For now.

Because my heart is so broken.

I just don't have it in me to pretend to be okay right now.

I think I expected to be 'okay' by now.

And I'm so not. Okay.

I really don't know who I am anymore.

My frame of reference has shifted completely.

And I think I just need to 'be' here for awhile. I just need to listen. And stop trying to sum it up with words.

I cannot post pretty pictures and wax eloquent about lessons learned...

I just need to be.

Quiet.

Broken.

Tired.

So I will be... for awhile.

I truly do love you all for your support and encouragement and your prayers.

So I trust you will wait this out with me.

And maybe say a prayer or two.

For clarity. And understanding.

I need to learn how to live with this heavy heavy heart.

"I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord.
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."
Psalm 27: 13 & 14

    You have put yourself out there so much you deserve to feel how you feel and live it out how you need to live it out.

    I know many of us enjoy your blog but don't want you to feel any pressure. That is not what this is suppose to be about. Take the time you need. We will be here when you get back.

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. 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. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. 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. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
