Snapshot

(a shot from yesterday)


in seminary, we talked about spiritual formation in the context of "knowing, being, and doing".

so . . .
today . . . .

knowing:
i am loved. by god. by herb. by friends. it is a good thing.
it is okay . . . it is all okay.
a little bit at a time, for a long time produces great progress.
there is grace for me and for me to give to others.

being:
patient
nervous
wound up
trying to enjoy
grateful
filled with joy
quiet

doing:
painting & art-making . . . lots of experimenting and giving myself permission to just create without expectation
volutneering at the hospital
inhaling and exhaling
swimming
margarita drinking

have a great day!

Some of you are wondering where I have been. Why I have not been writing.

I have hit the wall that Herb hit back in December. The "Wow! Marriage is tough and I have exceeded my strength and energy output abilities" wall. I am a bit twisted and have historically had a much higher tolerance for chaos. At times, you might even say, I enjoy, create and indulge in chaos and crisis.

But now. Right now. I am done. I have met my match. Hit my limit. I am done. And I am tired.

So, what that means for my blog is that my heart is heavy and my creativity is limited. So, I will be back at some point. I just don't know when.

Peace.
