In process.

I'm checking in... writing from a brain that is exhausted, but full.

This past time has been good... good to take a breather. And good to have the time away to work through the grieving process over Charlie's death. I'm still on a journey, I can tell. God is good.

I think since Charlie died, I have this greater awareness of the time. How we use time. Whether we're investing the hours and minutes of the day in a way that best honors God.

I know I don't, much of the time.

Charlie did. He was passionate. And purposeful.

I don't feel particularly passionate lately. And I want to.

So I'm praying about passion. And direction. And discipline.

I don't want to settle.


Speaking of passion, I got new pictures of Tejan this week. No more news as far as his arrival date, which is hard. I'm so ready to get to know this little boy. God has opened my heart wide for him.


Time to get ready for work.
Have a great weekend, friends.

    Hi Cathy,

    This is Ashley, one of your Apropos students! I just wanted to write a quick note to welcome you back to blogland. I use to read your blog all the time and then we changed computers and I didn't transfer your address over to the new one. I tried a few times to find it and I couldn't.

    I am currently in the hosptial (since Feb 1st) with pre-term labor stuff. Oh yeah, I'm expecting! Anyway, I have been doing a lot of blogging and had my husband dig out the old laptop and search for your address! I love to read your blog. I have started my own to chronicle my bedrest journey: www.bedrestboutique.com

    Your tribute to Charlie was amazing. So sorry to hear about your loss.

    Ashley

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

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. You read ...

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.
