Hedge Hog Throwing...

The world continues to "spin madly on" as my fav Joshua Radin sings to me...and yet I have not blogged once since my return from Honduras.

Please do not fear, there is plenty to blog about.

What could the problem be? you might ask.

Well, I might say, as I lean back in my chair and thoughtfully tap my chin with my right forefinger. The problem is the absence of three important ingredients of my blogging process.

1. My camera was in hiding for about 3 and a half weeks. And no, it was not in the camera protection program. It was rolling around under my passenger seat in my car. I on the other hand was searching every few days in various possible hiding places while stressing about it over and over again.

Then, last night, I was telling franTesska that it was missing and giving her the basic rundown, (because she is like a cop, or a scientist, or a copientist, and wants facts & details in a very specific order). And I confessed. And yet she did not arrest me, but as I was confessing I stopped myself and said (out loud of course) that I hadn't prayed about it yet. So, as I was driving home after my confession I prayed about it, parked & then reached under the passenger seat and felt it.

I was so grateful to have been able to recognize the worry I was carrying and then to be able to talk to God about it, let it go, and then find it! So grateful!

2. Just admit it, you forgot what this list is about...don't worry so did I. (sigh)...um...oh, yeah!...(ahem)....
2. I have been in hiding (away from my usual place of residence) for the past 3&1/2 weeks, house/dog sitting.

3. I have a lot of hedge-hog throwing* type emotions hiding out in my heart & in the spaces around my heart and just haven't gotten the downtime to sort through and begin to type them out, let alone pay my bills.

So, here I am beginning again,
