Closing the gap

january 16

dear suzy,

i loved waking up to your blog post this morning. thank you for sharing! i have a deep love affair with the written word...it settles into my sould like an old friend. i find myself returning to written words often during the day, and always have a pen on the go...so yea, blogging is a good fit for me as long as i write fast and furious and don't worry about who is reading, as long as i just get it out...get the thoughts down and let them go, not worrying about the reaction...then it is a good fit indeed.

so! what have you been up to since you last sat at the keyboard? tell me please, i am wondering how your day has been? what has stopped you in your tracks and shouted out "suzy! i am wonderful! look at me!" what has led you to tears perhaps? what has made you mutter under your breath? what moment had you saying "yes, that's what i'm talking about!" with satisfaction? tell me, tell me please!

here is what i have accomplished with my weekend. i decided to disconnect from facebook for the weekend. logged off on Friday afternoon and have been fighting ever since not to go back on...yikees! my pretend restaurant food might have burnt...seriously, i worry about such things, i do! So, as i am feeling the tug to log on and it is not yet the end of the weekend i decided to make a list of all the things i did this weekend...here it is, uncensored and missing all the unpleasant moments that accompany my daily health drama...i listed mainly the good stuff:

i reworked the budget

listened to my phone messages

slept in twice

enjoyed time with owen

drank tea with intention

read a novel

ate chocolate

spent an afternoon with gideon and hannah

did photobooth pictures with hannah

had dinner out

had  lunch out

wondered aloud some hard questions

read a magazine

laughed and cried with Thaddeus

changed the sheets

cleaned the house

fought the old patterns in my head

connected with myself

blogged

listened to the rain

i am in no way saying that i do not participate in alot of those things all the time along with my facebook but it felt good to make a small step and follow through. that is what i think this is all about for me, this balance thing. being faithful with the little things,everyday.everyday.everyday.

i love you and am looking forward to your post tomorrow.
