Safe and Sound

This is Asia reporting on Wednesday 11/19 for those of you interested. Cathy landed safely at 7:00pm Sierra Leone time. She called me from a borrowed cell phone - was only allowed 1 minute - to tell me she was fine. Huge prayer is needed however as the airlines LOST her bags. She only has the clothes she traveled in and one change in her carry-on! Please pray that she does not get stressed out and that everyone there pitches in and helps take care of her needs. The next flight in from London arrives on Friday evening but there is no guarantee that her bags will be sent to her in Banta.

Thank you for your prayers, I know that she appreciates it and knows that you are all thinking of her during this time. What does she say at the end of these things.... oh yeah,

smooches friends!

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.
