A Pondrous Life

Yes, I know it's been a while. But apparently nobody's discovered my blog here anyway (not that I've told anyone), and I've been busily recording thoughts elsewhere. I still need to work on closing down my Xanga and MySpace, but I find I'm dragging my feet. It's another chore in a list of many, and it's not like I really need something else to do.

Though a job this summer would've been nice. Things haven't turned out at all the way I'd thought they would in that regard. I'm saying I believe it's because God had other ideas, which is true. He told me when I lost the stupid waitressing job at Fantail to "someone more experienced" (after only 8 hrs on the job) that he knew what I needed. Evidently, that's included a lot of free time. Not to mention a glorious five days with my friend Jen that left me with a sore diaphragm from all the amazing laughing that happened. And I've babysat for some great kids and gotten involved with my family in a way that I hadn't been for quite a while. Such things are important. Especially the family part.

My fam's looking at some changes. Maybe big ones. Or maybe not. Ones that could affect how we relate to each other and how we function as a family. Security just in the everyday norm is sort of tilting off its center. It sure makes things interesting! Now don't get worried. Change is a good thing. It's just the unknown of life in general that makes my fingers clammy and my heart beat just a little faster. (Get used to it, Lyn... it's the way things are!) That, and the fact that the things that change for them as my family these days... only partially include me, even though they affect me quite entirely.

Enough of that confusingness. It's a happy summer day! And that, above all, is a cause for thankfulness!
