Out of Touch

Our
computer
officially
died.

And the first few days I kicked some dirt and had a puffy attitude when it was time to order books
for school or I really desperately needed some encouragement & was missing my daily dose of holy experience.blogspot or I wanted to be in better touch with my friends across the miles.
 
But now a month later, I am still alive without the machine in my home.

And even better for it in some ways.

There has been more freeze tag in my back yard, consistent napping & therefore better attitudes in the evenings, more evening connection & flirting with my husband, and most of all

a soul

with space for the persons right in front of me
that unfortunately can get overlooked because of the 'important things' to check up on the computer.
And yes, I messed up the whole schedule for my cooking swap group of mamas- we were suppost to meet tonight & I haven't even bought ingredients cause I missed the email reminders!  ooops...gotta love it when
you need some mercy from your friends.

In this time we have also survived the whooping cough- the P in Dtp- pertussis.  4 & 1 year old.  Hard nights.  Oldest is playing kid pitch baseball & younger 2 are on same soccer team.  Evenings are full of outdoors & it is good, this fresh air, this meeting of new folks, this me stretching my legs pushing baby around the track.

In this time, I have missed this blog, missed writing & sharing all that is abuzz in the four walls of this home & some of the learnings and challengings of my heart.  Although my life increases with the demands in my chosen job the burning in my belly for this way of life & learning is still ablaze. 

May joy & hope be upon you today.
