Maybe you haven't noticed but I haven't been around.
Mind you, it looks like many of you-all haven't been round much either.
There's been so much going on in Real Life.
Tragedy and Disaster on a National scale. Followed by Heartbreak and Drama at a personal level.
It's all just Too Much.
Somehow I just haven't had the heart to talk about it.
Thursday brought a family crisis, and tears. Friday brought friends to help and support.
Saturday... still shell-shocked we took our bikes to Mission Bay and rode along the waterfront; got some gluten-free fish and chips; tried to smile and laugh.
And it worked, mostly. Something about the sun and the sea. The breeze blowing in your bike helmet and the calls of the wild...
"Mummmmeeee! My legs are sore! I'm tiiiired!"
I missed a milestone 50th birthday party that night, unable to face the crowds and spent time with a few special friends instead.
Sometimes you just have to do that.
Regroup.
Be kind to yourselves (and each other).
Lay low and use what energy you have where you need it most.
So this is just me emerging briefly from my hidey hole to wave and say hello to any friends out there in the Land of Blog who may have noted my absence. I mean when a blogaholic fails to blog you know something's up, right?
And there is, but I can't say.
All I can do is ask that while you fling your prayers heavenward, could you say a word for Team G as well?
We need a whole lots of Divine Love right now, specially for our Boy.
Thanks.

Of course I had noticed the lack of your beautiful writing. So sorry to hear that you guys have had such a rough week.
Tonight, I hope these words can speak to you hon as I'm really feeling these words.
Psalm 46.
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD Almighty is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Hope he can be your rock and fortress in the coming week xxxxxx
to be honest I just figured you were as shell shocked as the rest of the country.
big hugs, I will email you xox
Oh Simone - will be praying alright. I just figured you were going through the saddness we all were with the quake and not blogging as much. All my love - and let me know if there is anything I can do. xoxo
Prayers and hugs Simone.
