They Call It Writer's Block

They call it writer’s block …

 I call it too much on my mind, too much going on, and too many emotions in my heart.

You may have noticed that I haven’t written a blog post for quite awhile.  Of course, I have had a number of thoughts and potential ideas over the past (many) months, but I have not been able to put any of them into words quite yet.

Instead of writing blogs, my thoughts have evolved into prayers – a few more than usual.  To put it into words, my prayers have consisted of the following: 

·         Usual expressions of gratitude for my many, many blessings

·         For the health and safety of my children and all my family members

·         For the happiness of my children

·         For bonding moments with my children – I love every moment!

·         For the South Winneshiek Baseball team – District Championships and State Championships

·         For guidance in changing times

·         For understanding when life may throw curve balls

·         For MIRACLES – both LARGE and small

·         And for peace, grace and strength for all.

This morning, as the sun rose amid a heated cloud of fog, I sat on my porch sipping my usual morning coffee.  I contemplated writing a blog and I managed a few words of prayer.  But then my mind went quiet.  I sat there in the peace of the morning as the prominent chirping of nearby birds crowded out any thoughts that may have arose.    

For right now I have nothing more to say. 

Peace, grace, strength, and blessings for all who need them …
