My Long Winter's Nap

I had intended to take a short break from blogging...

just to rest

to recharge

and renew

Instead I found myself making the decision to live in the moment with those around me instead of living with my laptop and list of blog posts.

I chose to love my finite world while the bloggy world went unattended.

Days passed.....then weeks

I paid more attention to my husband. It wasn't a question of loving more but of giving him more of me.

I spent time with children and grandchildren.

I even made time for myself...without guilt.

I read.

I napped.

I savored the day's events without composing blog posts in my head.

I watched the sun rise and set.

I found joy in early morning walks.

I worked on trusting Him more so that I could find relief from the worries that too easily consume me.

I let go....

The real life issues are still there, calling out to me, demanding my time and energies.

I will deal with it all.

And there is also time for blogging.

Hello again.
