That’s a little bit sentimental, isn’t it? I mean, to have that attitude about one’s blog. Ah well. You know me.
In the past few weeks I have shown up here and started multiple drafts of posts that will eventually appear here. None made it far past my inner editor the first go round, though I know they’ll show up at some point.
The fact is, it’s hard for words to choke past a beleaguered heart. I have tried. There is just so much going on. In areas of my life that I don’t talk about here and with things that I’ve been instructed not to talk about (see here). I am fine and my husband is fine and mostly everything in our lives is “fine,” so don’t go worrying about us. It’s just that when the heart is preoccupied with other things and the overflow is unpleasant there isn’t much left to share with the world. So I rally and try to keep the essential operations going around here. And sometimes it takes all that I’ve got.
Boy howdy, this makes it sound like I’m depressed or something. I am not, as far as I know. Sometimes there are valleys though. This isn’t a deep one and I know I’ll come out on the other side fit as a fiddle.
There are a few things coming around the bend that I can’t wait to share with you. A couple of different series that I’m due to finish up. An epiphany I had today about music (children of the 80s and early 90s should appreciate it I think). Some natural remedies I’ve tried. How to survive a cold. A smattering of quotes that have touched me from different books I’ve been reading (and listening to) lately.
I guess I just wanted to say that I’m still here. This has been a quiet season (other than my chats with Jennifer), but I feel it’s coming to an end.

I TOTALLY understand. Ever since both my parents died my life has spiraled out of control down – as much as I try to “be happy”, THINGS get in the way. I know I’m in the middle of God’s plan and I’m ok with it. Just ok –
I’d love for you to read my blog – I haven’t posted in quite some time because my life hit another huge crater last spring and I was devastated. Anyway – you can me at http://tiny.cc/3leggedstool
I hopped over — enjoyed what I read! Think you’ll write more in the future?
I so understand this post because I have had those times. Enjoy the quiet Elizabeth. It’s a beautiful thing…and even though hard things are going on… the quiet is there for a reason and He uses it.
Thank you, Christy
I hope you are having a good week!
I can completely relate to this post right now, during this season of my life. By the way, I like the new blog design. Very fresh.
Thank you! I was wanting something new.
Beleaguered isn’t a word that’s tossed around much these days, but it’s so descriptive and gave me an accurate picture of the state of your heart. Hugs… Thank you for using your well-read vocabulary to share a glimpse of you/your life. (Mine has been frenetic — hoping to rectify that soon!) In the meantime, please know that “to you I will always return” — your writing is always a highlight.
Thank you, Kimby
