Living fully

All week I've been pondering the idea of living fully.

Prompted by the sermon at church on Sunday, I'm chewing on the idea of experiencing all that each day holds...

whether it's a glorious day spent by the river with the sounds of my children playing together

or an evening spent in the emergency room, scared out of my wits.

Wherever God has me, I want to fully be in that moment.

Even in the doldrums of a summer day that seems to never end, I want to live it. Love it. Embrace it.

So I'm breathing fully.
Savoring the little things.
Tasting more.
Reflecting.

Even in conflict and boredom and tiredness - I want to fully be there.

So that's what I've been thinking about.

How are you all?

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.
