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.

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
