thought.

The internet has come and gone in waves at the house. It's been frustrating. But its also been good. It has meant that every time I have come to update this little ole blog, that I have not been able to post, which is the frustrating part. But at the same time, its been good because its forced me to really think and pray about what I want to say.

I had a pretty long weekend. Long in work, long in heart, long in general. Lots of intense conversations, dynamics, reunions, laughter, that have all led to a a weighted place of self introspection and even mostly... silence.

It's now Tuesday morning and I'm off today. I am off on Thursday. So working a shorter shift tomorrow sort of makes me feel like I'm scoring a three day stretch of time off. I'll take the illusion.

Right now I'm cleaning the house and getting things read for the first of two sisters who are moving in for awhile. I have used the hallway bathroom since I got back last summer, for no real reason whatsoever. I now have to move out of it and back into my bedroom. Don't judge me. I honestly have no reason that makes sense why I don't use the master bathroom.

This morning my head feels scattered. I am processing through several conversations from this weekend, a couple of interesting days at work, the transition this house is about to embark (again), Gracie's limp (which now requires a vet appointment), how I'm generally feeling in my own body and health stand point, plans for this summer (Busch Gardens and Vegas keep coming up), and in general... What now?

Those are mentioned as just a platform for the other branches off the tree of thought I just described. But people sometimes cheat and read me here before talking to me. Most of the time I don't think about it, and I don't care.

Today I do.

And right now, what I'm thinking about, what I'm praying about pursuing, and whom has captivated my attention are worth more then a sneak peak on this blog.

What I probably could use more then anything is an hour or two at the river's edge with Mandy and Kristyn, laughing and sharing about this moment in this life. Followed up with a hearty challenging conversation over iced coffee.

Yes. That would hit the spot.
