Woo Hoo... A Comment!!!
Much gratitude and thanks to one, Mamalang out there in blog land! I am so psyched that you posted a comment, I don't really know what to do with myself! I will indeed be visiting you blog, momentarily.....maybe I will leave a comment! Then you and I can dialouge.Okay- this could be something someone comments on- when I was posting about the Christmas letters, I wrote the word- "writes" incorrectly, as "rights." where's the mudslinging?????I have a comment,-yea! I have a comment, weee!I have a comment... (how do I portray the little tune I am singing here?)Have a happy day!
The Fog Lifts
Kathy-- chatting with you has helped me so much. There's a lesson here for everyone. Talk to the person you think is hardest to talk to about your sadness, and the sadness may just lift like a fog. I have to say, it was a horridly depressing week, but now that I know that Kathy knows, I know... I am happy for her new addition to the family. I am just saddened that her father, the baby's grandpa won't be on earth to see his grandchild- but Grandpa is enjoying that baby right now!On to another happy note- it is my birthday this weekend. My dad asked how it felt to be 30? I was a little confused at that one. So I had to respond that it was getting old, now that I have celebrated 30 years old 8 times. Funny, I don't really care about telling my age. I suppose 40 will be difficult, but really- isn't it better than the alternative? And how about how much we grow as people? I look at my best friend, my sister, and myself, and there are times that we are hardly recognizable from who we used to be. I think that is why I am such a reader too- I love the growth of the characters. It is so inspiring to witness the emerging of ourselves into what we become. That is why I like the journey, and I don't care about the outcome! If you proceed joyously, cautiously, and trust in God's care, you will come out where you belong. Then you will die anyhow. lol Seriously, dying is not the 'end' of the world! It is the beginning of the next chapter! And what a great opportunity for growth. I don't want to rush into it- I have too much left here to do... But I think it will be enlightening and wonderous when it happens. If not a little bit scary with the tiniest bit of fear for the unknown. Gosh though, my biggest fear is the same of most mothers- I do not care to ever see any of my children go before me- I am entirely to selfish for this. Ironic... it just occurred to me, that I did have a baby go before me. My ectopic Angel. hmm. will sit on this thought awhile.
Really, how do I get onto these topics? Maybe this blogging thing is too free-form for my mind's bird-walking wanderings. (ok.. think about how a bird walks... it is connected steps, but never in a sensible straightforward path)
OKAY- TIME FOR MY GRIPE! I need comments! Don't make this like my Christmas letter that everyone says, 'Oh Gena, we love your Christmas Letter!' then not one person rights a word in their Christmas cards other than their name! I mean, really- why take the time and money to address, fill out and send a card then not write a single damn thing aside from your name??? WHY GOD? I ASK YOU, WWHHHHYYYYY?This needs to be a dialogue, not a monologue! Anything will work- you stubbed your big toe! Alright! You bought something on EBAY- okay! OMG- you identified with something I said??? yea! You disagree with me?? Bring it on. Just no perverted comments, please- they make me blush- and yes that does mean you too sissy! ;-)
