Yes, I missed two days.


There is something to be said for people who hold you in the middle of their bedroom floor while you bawl your eyes out, especially if those people start crying with you. I will admit that I have been out of sorts lately and haven’t been able to absorb things quite well, or absorb them at all. Of course that means that a break down was imminent. It happened tonight. I’ve spent the last week filled with inner conflict while staying so busy that I barely had time to think about anything. This weekend has been so quietly peaceful, giving me enough calmness of heart to finally break down—which is a good thing. Yesterday, I stayed out of phone commission all day which means that I didn’t communicate with anyone electronically for most of the day except Joscelyn, but she gets the big sister/roomie exception award. I refused to communicate with anyone else because I didn’t have to…well that and I just needed a day off.  Both today and yesterday I was fortunate enough to have lazy breakfast in which I could drink coffee and sit still in the quiet sunshine while thinking about everything, anything, and nothing at the same time. I also got to go thrifting today and purchase some really cool booksJ I’m really excited about them. AND I had an amazing God conversation with someone who went through exactly what I went through last year and what I am also going through again this year. I guess Proverbs is right when it says “so as iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another man,” but in this case, its women. How ‘bout them apples?! Although there are still things in my life I need to handle and learn how to handle better—including talking more to people when I’m dealing with stuff—I am more at peace than I have felt in a long time. That and happy.
