There's a lot on my mind and if it were a plate, there would be things falling off.....

mulling

I need a porch swing, a cup of hot tea, a blanket, and telescope.  Mulling over the questions of life, the universe and everything....just can't figure out how 42 figures. *quiet laugh*
It's been a long day. It's been a long day.  It's been a long day. 
I'm ready to follow my bedtime routine and go to sleep.
But I think I'll watch a movie. The question is - do I want to ignore life and laugh or do I want to just cry with the rest of human misery?

the sick, sinking feeling

The feeling you get in your stomach that follows every vein and artery until it has spread through your entire body and brings your brain to a halt....I've got it.  But for some reason, my brain is still functioning. :(  Anyone know how to wash that out?  Never mind, don't answer. It's better than feeling numb.  maybe.

another day

Another day to put one foot in front of the other, to take deep breaths, to love my family, to move forward in life....
And the current tea box wisdom bit is this:

''Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."  ~ Henry David Thoreau 

Funny how sometimes things are reinforced right after the thoughts have brewed in the mind.

in a time of need....

The Prayer of St. Francis (before the crucifix):

Oh great Divine, cast your light into the dark corners of my heart. Give me purity of thought, a firm hope, abundant charity, and profound kindness. Grant me wisdom, and perception that I may carry out that which brings wholeness to this world. Amen.
