Sundown Sunday

Spent is the word for the day.  When I come to the end of a day like this, I find myself very tired.  Spent.  This is when I like to stop and...well just stop.  Really when you stop, it is not possible to stop and do anything else.  So tonight I am just stopping!  I just do not feel like it is needful to do anything else at the moment.  Oh I know I am writing, but I also know it is so very random that it doesn't even require any real thought or effort.  So I am very content in this moment to just be...and to do it without guilt, without ambition, without investment of mind or strength.  I do this for the moment knowing that in a brief time I will rise to my feet and engage once again.  And I will do this with energy and passion.  So for now I am at rest.  Goodbye.

A Starting Place

This is a blogbeginning.  I know that I put those words together.  I do that kind of thing from time to time.  I like to build words.  Anyway, today I am putting fingers to keyboard when I have normally have put pen to paper.  I am thinking today about my cousin Leisa.  I grew up with Leisa.  She was a bit younger than me, always delightful, and a friend through the years. Today, she is having surgery for colon cancer.  That is tough on her and her family.  She is in my prayers.  So this is not a bright smiley beginning.  However, it is reality...you know...the stuff life is made of.  We may not always like it, but it keeps on coming.  One of these days perhaps I will sit down and count the ways that it has hit me head on.  On the other hand maybe not.  I am thinking there may not be much value in that.  Well I think I will go out and face some of that stuff called reality, all the while keeping in mind that mine may not be as tough today as the reality some others may be living.
