COTY took the kids to Virginia at crack o' dawn yesterday. He took the swagger wagon, so I am left with the other vehicle and a lot of time to think and be. Just worry about me. It is weird. And I need to do more of it even when I am in the midst of the crazy.
We just spent a gorgeous Saturday on Conesus Lake. I just sat and gazed at the water and felt such peace. Fire, water and trees do this.

I am not a writer with one central theme per post but more random thoughts.
Today it is about "bolting". I am trying to sit with myself when all I want to do is bolt/divert/eat/ignore/not be. I find that if I turn to my thoughts of fire, water and earth, they comfort me.
I have been absorbing the writings of a dear old friend of mine, Jodi Aman. She has started a blog: atimewrinkler.net. Good, thought and emotion-provoking stuff. The premise is that "wrinkles" are tough times in our life. If there is a wrinkle in fabric, you traverse more fabric in a shorter amount of time. If the fabric is all smooth, while easier to traverse, it takes longer and the depth of learning and leaning in is not there. If you go across the wrinkle, you have the opportunity to learn/grow/expand and FEEL more. Thank you, Jodi.
I have also been missing my spiritual food at church. I am looking forward to our return to Religious Ed and the possibility of COTY joining me!?!
If we stop, look, listen, we can see so much and gather strength for the tougher days. I am savoring this quiet time with me. It is renewal.
Off to Virginia tomorrow.
