Maria, writing a card to Charlotte: How do you write "chuther?"
Natalie: "Chuther?"
Maria: Yeah, like 'we love e-chuther.'

Maria, urgently: Pick a number between one and ten.
Natalie: uh... seven.
Maria, thoughtfully: Hmm. That's a good number.
Walks away.

Chirp-Chirp-Chirp BirdHouse Notes

Is it alright to whine a little bit about how beat I feel? It all seems so overwhelming and dramatic in my head, but I find venting a little actually helps keep things in perspective, and gives me some relief. Also, it might help to take a break to ingest calories. This fatigue can't all be from trouble-shooting, problem solving, and driving around... right?

Funny what I don't notice until it's staring at me... like posting two days in a row about the pleasures and comforts of reading. This makes me think of Grandmother Eunice, of our Little Free Library, of all the happy times when reading and books have brought a new point of view, wonder, knowledge, a connection with the world. What a gift.

Rain? Today? Of course... Geoff's car window won't close, and the goat's shelter isn't ready. At least, those are the only two reasons I have for not calling this absolutely the loveliest weather. Truly, I am thankful for the quiet and calm of the gray skies, and the soft drizzle, the cleansing rain giving everything a fresh look and feel.

This is an *EXHALE.*

Gratitude. Sigh. Breathe, again, and release.

Yes, I am vague. No... it's nothing fatal. Just life trying to prove my strength and resilience, and keep me humble, too. Who else is ready for this year to settle down, rise, and be kinder, gentler, saner? Peace, friends. Peace, hope, love, and grace. Repeat.

Got up this morning, washed dishes, tidied the kitchen, then at 8:30 went into the office to blog, answer emails, and make dental appointments. When I got up from the desk, it was noon. I am either slow and inefficient, or... nothing. I am slow and inefficient. Time to rethink my priorities. Sometimes, fifteen years of trying my hand at blogging, feels like enough already.
