I'd meant to blog more...and then didn't...and now am wracked with guilt. But since this happens all the time, I know exactly what to do:
Jump right back in!!!
Hi!!!
Nathan wasn't feeling well, so he's home today--watching tv. Spenser is on his perch and looking resentful. (Why is she tapping on that THING when she could be playing with ME??!!) Mark is probably at work by now. I'm still in my pjs, a thick letter (a real letter) sitting next to me, waiting to be read. I'm delaying gratification with that--wanting the perfect moment (snuggly fairy shawl? tea? quiet?).
I've not exactly been fruitful so far, but it's only the 13th. And anyway, I know, absolutely KNOW that at any given moment I can turn everything around, and actually BE who I want to be. (What, don't you think that, too?) So I'm not stressed.
I am calm.
All is well here.
Joy--I find I have to keep jumping in again, over and over. But so what? We care, we try. I can't wait to see what happens when you jump back in again!
Kara--never feel guilt over my blog, PLEASE!! I know that you read it, and that's actually enough.

Karen - I was over at Sharon's new blog and trying to leave a comment. For some reason I was having all sorts of trouble. Then I thought - you know I had trouble leaving a comment here the other night. So I'm back to try again. And in the spirit of jumping in I thought I'd come back and say "hi" and let go of the guilt for not leaving you a comment earlier.......so Hi! Thinking of you love.

Thanks, Laura!
S.P.--it's like the guilt becomes an indulgence. Eventually, I've got to stop being the drama queen and just write!!

I've been doing the same thing with blogging. Wanting to blog, not blogging, then feeling guilty. I like your attitude and yeah, I think the same thing!

Hey, Karen. You are so right. Nothing to do but just jump right back in! Do you have a vegan cake recipe you would recommend? (Frank's birthday is coming up and we are still steering clear of everything dairy related.)
