yes, I'm alive ... sigh.

I know, this blog is sorely neglected. I remember when I used to sit down at my computer just to do fun things. Those days are surely gone.

I'm pretty fried with life right now. I went to my church convention two weeks ago and fell in love with Jesus all over again. Came home with all kinds of mighty plans to keep the fire stoked and one by one, they have all been dismantled. You mean I have to keep this relationship going all by myself? I have to stoke the fires myself? ahem. I guess so. There will not be cultivation of new friendships I made at convention (no time). There will not be more consistent attendance at church (well, maybe a little). Apparently there isn't room in my life - or in my family's life - for me to add more activities. We are already stretched to the limit.

So for any of you who think you have a great business idea; for anyone who sees a gap in the opportunity market that just has to be filled! You have a dream, you say? Call me up and I'll tell you what it's like to own a business (or two). I'll tell you all about how you start a business doing something you love and all of a sudden, you don't have time for the thing you loved, only for the business details. I'll tell you how to enjoy going to lunches with your friends and the park with your kids and whole days reserved for worship -- cuz you won't have time to do that after.

Ah, but maybe my negativity has something to do with the fact I haven't slept for weeks? And might not for many more? Yup, that could have something to do with it. And that we have MRSA again? Oh yeah, that might be part of my pessimism too. My husband reminds me often that things could be worse. But then, he sleeps at night.
