It has officially been a month since I last blogged. I would like to blame the holidays, but ours were calm and easy for the most part. I think I subconsciously took the last month as a chance to let things happen without the need to write about it, as our family has been going through some big and small changes. Okay...the truth is I am frozen with fear by some of these changes. I find that I am still frozen enough by the prospective big ones to not quite write about them yet, until they become realities. What did I do in the last month during my non-frozen time?
Let's see...
1. Two visits from my in-laws as we emerge from a period of estrangement.
2. Christmas with an 18-month-old: Fun and frustrating as it should be.
3. Finding new child care for the 18-month-old and all the worries and tears that went along with this. Today is her first day. So far no phone calls from a sitter in agony. As for me, I miss my daughter so much I can hardly breathe.
4. A trip to Florida to see my parents flanked by a toddler illness and parental illness. Lots of fun and laughter in between.
5. Much thinking about my friends and family, and lots of prayer for them.
Now here I am facing a new year on some shaky ground. I should see this as an opportunity to reach into my spiritual toolbox and say something significant. Maybe tomorrow...
