I, too, am in a state of distraction. Not from the prospect of moving across the globe like you (still amazed at that prospect), but from being pulled in so many directions that I just want to burrow down and hibernate. Anyway, for what it's worth, I don't think your writing suffers in your distraction. You maintain and I admire you for that.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234102836517506471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572754717743284391.post-63729710381621876702007-08-04T04:34:00.000-07:002007-08-04T04:34:00.000-07:00I have missed your writing.The logisitcs of what y...I have missed your writing.<BR/>The logisitcs of what you are preparing to do are huge and it sounds like you've got all bases covered.

It's no wonder you feel in limbo too... but you honestly sound like you're doing a sterling job of it, despite how you view yourself. To keep a handle on the exercise is such an achievement, and a very wise move. Those endorphins I'm always rattling on about have got to be a good thing. Just imagine how stressed and disconnected you might feel without it!!!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906909599853950560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572754717743284391.post-33835912131909541202007-08-02T22:49:00.000-07:002007-08-02T22:49:00.000-07:00Oh, I can totally understand how you are feeling. ...Oh, I can totally understand how you are feeling. If I were in your predicament I wouldn't be able to think about anything else. Even tho there wasn't a thing I could be doing at the moment, it would still demand all my focus and attention. And I would be stressed out beyond belief. I am not good at letting go of the things I can't control.<BR/><BR/>At least you are exercising. That is probably what is keeping you sane! A great stress-buster.<BR/><BR/>And, as jeanie said: Breathe!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176793604414392644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572754717743284391.post-67684197401283909782007-08-02T20:42:00.000-07:002007-08-02T20:42:00.000-07:00It will come, Strauss - breathe girl, breathe.The ...It will come, Strauss - breathe girl, breathe.<BR/><BR/>The immenseness of your future is indeed overwhelming, so I can only imagine how hard it is to have the "ommm" moments.<BR/><BR/>Just remember you can only do what you can do - and if you have a handle on those then you are ALLOWED to throw down the reins and enjoy watching your children, create what memories you can create and write one or two line pithy posts saying "not drowning, waving".<BR/><BR/>Good luck.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.com
