I'm such a slow mover. Signed up for email notifications in regards to a book I'll review in the next few weeks--there's a Bible study/book study to go along with it. The first few emails poured in---actually poured in, and the women who run the site are so full of energy and enthusiasm. Frankly, it makes me tired. :) As I said, slow mover. Too much effervescence makes me want to run the other way. I had to put my email notifications on snooze for a bit. Otherwise I'll just delete.
When you get to looking, there are plenty of Christian women's sites like that. They have such big, white teeth. Beautiful 30-something young women who have such a following. Good for them, but I need a tired old fifty-something women's group. The one where you really don't care what the other person looks like, and you toss off your shoes and put up your feet. Not into making an impression, just making it through the day.
Can I hear an Amen?
The older I get, the less I'm impressed. Folks try so hard. Me, I try hard, but in different ways. Honestly, when I get in bed at night, I'm so relieved. I'll joke with Gary that we've survived another day. Thank you, God, that we made it. Might sound defeatist, but if you had some of my children, you'd feel the same way. Gosh.

Cleaned behind another cabinet in the living room today. The least one got behind it and did the walls, trim and floor. Sparkly, pretty much. Moved it back at a different angle and re-filled the shelves. Just refreshing to see it all tidy. And that was all I could do. Naptime! Tomorrow we'll pull out the piano and clean there, then redo the arranging on top of it. My energy level is still sorta stinky. You'd really think I'd been sick. Anyway, it's gratifying to get things neat. Does my spirit such good.
Be sweet.
