So I got by with a little help from my friends…
So I thought a little update might be called for…
I did indeed have a weepy, overwhelmed day in which I had little energy to carry my own load. And, after removing the job of “hoping” from the pile, I got several notes from loved ones who carried that job for me for a little while. And along the way….
- some nice stranger on the roadside cut the smoking belt from my van, ending the jet-noise and meaning we got home quite nicely.
- I FOUND MY CAMERA…oh joy! It was in a bag I never put things in so had forgotten that one time I had, and in hours of music-less driving, remembered. So the car thief didn’t get it after all; just my music and buds.
- the cats didn’t die. They panted the whole way but we had no Feline Fatalities and they are happily hiding under my dad’s spray booth at the moment. Mama Cat, nursing fine.
- If getting nasty, controlling email was a problem, it has been temporarily alleviated via a server fire that took out email and many sites for a bit. Inconvenient to be sure but it’s not without it’s silver lining. I needed a spam-free day anyway!
- I made all my appointments and worked in a visit with an old friend besides.
Thank you to my blessings, both seen and unseen. I’m moving “onward” today and I know it’s because of such loving support. I’m thinking one can’t live very deliberately in a bubble.

Yeah, so glad to hear the good news today. You know, you are a very upbeat person. Just about every gosh darn post is happy-clappy and we were all starting to wonder if there was a real person in there somewhere:) Just wish all the bad things didn’t have to hit you all at once:-) Take care!

Glad to hear how things turned out. I really empathized with you in your post yesterday. Sometimes being in that very place is what makes one the most real. Glad you took time to let it be.

Just read your latest entries (I’ve not been stellar about keeping up with blogs). I hear the hope in your voice, my friend, and it inspires me, too. Keep on keeping on.
