You know that feeling when you have been neglecting a friendship...
Wondering if you should just call up out of the blue? Do you apologize? Act like nothing has changed? Start all over again? Or do you just keep on ignoring the relationship, hoping that it just goes away, or someone else will take the lead...
That's the relationship I've been having with my blog lately. I look at the date of my last post and get a little tingle of remorse. Another day goes by and that tingle changes to regret. A few more days and I'm left with that where-do-I-even-begin? feeling.
Do I start with the weather? It's been wintry. But only enough for us to have a two-hour delay. Once.
I could mention the books that I'm reading and loving. "The Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova and "Change Your Questions, Change Your Life" by Wendy Watson Nelson
I could talk about the kids. Enough good and enough bad to keep Ryan and I on our toes.
I could go on and on about Ryan-I love him-but it could get a little tedious.
I could even talk about school. But it's the weekend....
I kept journals all throughout my teenage years. I would write in them religiously, poring my angst into each one for days on end. And then I would stop. Months would go by. It never failed that when I picked up the journal again, my entry would read..."It's been a long time and so much has changed..."
Thank goodness for growing up. It's been a long time. But not much has changed.
And I will be back tomorrow.

Oh how I know the feeling! I am right there with you. I think I am just looking for some motivation...or maybe I'ma bit lazy.
You'll have to let me know what you think about Wendy Nelsons book. She spoke to us at girls camp and I loved all her insight. Her sister is in our ward and we were even lucky enough to have her speak with her husband in our ward! That was a shocker to see an apostle on the stand when you walk in!
The true friends (and blogs) pick up right where you left off, no matter the time nor the distance.
