Max, Paul and Eileen,
Since I haven't blogged in forever, it always sort of startles me to remember my blog is still here for people to read. And then I read your beautiful comments and I'm so glad we have this virtual connection.

Life is messy, eh? For all of us, it seems, and some years (or decades) more so than others. What a blessing just to connect and know that we are not alone.

Joy and grace to each of you.

I've been moving through some very messy times in my life, and I often feel overwhelmed and guilty about it all.

But your words are hitting home with me - I'm sorry to be reading them so long after they were first published, but I guess today was the day I needed to read them.

Yes..this is the only life I have, and yes, I must pay better attention and live it. Thanks LJ.

Dear LJ,
I believe tonight is the third time I have read this post. I had to come back after meeting you.

Thank you for the witness to living life, the one life we have. Belated happy birthday.

I know that my life rather fell apart after my ex and I split. Much of it was all right on the surface but I was a lost mess. I am doing better now, but still trying to learn, day by day, how to live my life.

Blessings on your journey.

I really enjoyed meeting you.

OK, I'm late to the party.
Even so:
happy birthday.
I am glad you're here.
You make a difference in the world.
You've made a difference to me.

"Sometimes I get so frustrated that the future is not emerging in the way I expected, that I forget to live the day that I've been given."

oh, man. this is the story of the last 27 months of my life.

so, you know... thanks... for that.
blessings, precious one.

yours in the struggle,
Max

I'm back. I'm not so pissy today but I'm definitely standing at some kind of crossroads, so recognizing that this is the day that the Lord has made is actually quite helpful!

Still a little pissy, hon? Don't worry. This too shall pass.

At least, that's what my mother always said.

Ah. I needed this today.

2009-03-11T14:44:00.000-04:00

Ah. I needed this today.

Amen, indeed.
