I Love Blogging

Sometimes, I forget that I do, for a while.  But, I do–  I wish everyone I knew could blog.

New friends give me needed perspective.

I want to try new things to keep my kitchen inspired (and the kitchen is not by nature my favorite thing, but I’m learning to find joy in serving, or try, with cranky eaters seeming to nip at my heels most of the days)!

Friends say well things I have a hard time saying, even when they think they are rambling.

I need to be reminded of some serious truth every day to make it.

I love to learn in areas of my passion (update:  this is a link to Blissfully Domestic on Photography tips called “From Good to Better”.  You might be able to pull it up later, I can’t get the site up tonight to check this link at the moment.)

I get excited about growing older!

I’m challenged to embrace seasons, in all their beauty, not despising them.

I need to be reminded to K.I.S.S.(http://homesanctuary.typepad.com/rachelanne/2008/10/complicated.html)–even more.

I will be thankful, in all things.

Fun contests that make me think, even when I might not enter them (Blissfully Domestic link today to a “Man of the Year” contest).

There are reminders that just because someone said something profound sounding, doesn’t make it truthful (totally disagree with this quote).

There are people faces faith issues just as big, or bigger than my own…we all journey together, in a sense.

And remembering tonight that a year ago, God told me I needed more faith.  And so I prayed for faith.  And now…I need faith.  I’m hoping I got it somewhere along they way…or maybe it is built up as you need it when you just keep believing.

I love stories of real people and their life journeys of love found (I have a particular affinity for this dear one).

I need to go enjoy some great music.

I get HELP for serious challenges(another www.blissfullydomestic.com link I couldn’t get to work tonight.  It’s on decorating!) 

And, oh!  my heart!  I keep grieving with you and hurting with you and you.  Oh, precious grieving ones!  You are strong.  I learn to keep walking from you.  Keep going.  Even when it hurts.  Real bad.

Well…just felt like highlighting a few blogs that have touched me tonight after The Hub cooked us some breakfast for supper whilst I slept off a fierce headache.  Ironically, no one locally posted today at the time of this posting–or at least bloglines hasn’t picked them up.  I’ll highlight them another day…they are no less inspirational– mainly, within hugging distance,a royal perk!

And, now that I’ve finished checking these links, I’d better run…my chocolate chip cookies are done, the family has spotted them!
