Seeking Peace...

Traveling home from precious time spent with loved ones, and I'm finally caught up on e-mail, facebook, and blog posts.  Arriving home will find me anxious to start on the mountain of laundry, a quick (and not-too-thorough) cleaning of the house, cleaning out the refrigerator to re-stock it again for 2 weeks, a trip to the library to stock up on books and movies, phone calls, sorting through the mail, etc, etc...  And all, in 3 days, with a medical appointment thrown in there as well.

I said I wasn't going to do this, but my blog is probably going to be very quiet for at least this week, possibly longer, so I wanted to say something. I am having (routine) surgery on Friday morning, and I covet your prayers for me.  I've never been hospitalized or had anesthesia or any kind of surgery, and to say I'm terrified is a bit of an understatement.

It's challenging for me (a lover of new beginnings) to realize that my January is not going to be the way that I want it to be, full of resolutions, new starts, inspirations, and so on...  I'm hoping February can be that way.  I am reading all of your posts about resolutions, organizing, planning, top posts from 2011, reading goals for 2012, and I want to join in and post some of my own thoughts, but now is not the time, and I have to accept that.  Maybe during some of my down-time of recovery I can do that...

So -- don't think I'm giving up blogging for good...just for a little while.  In the meantime, pray this for me, as I pray it for myself... every. single. moment.
