Thoughts of now...

I know I haven't blogged for awhile- sorry about that. I've sat in front of a blank computer screen several times with the intention of writing, but I've struggled to compile coherent thoughts. Sometimes with writers' block you have to push through. So, that's what I am doing.

While bored at work the other day I started doing odd quizzes, personality tests, etc. This was one I thought was fun and interesting and mostly true (even though I usually don't celebrate Halloween):



What Your Halloween Habits Say About You



A bit of an introvert, you like the special occasions just as much as everyone else. You just have your own unique way of celebrating Halloween.

Sneaky and devious, people should really watch out for you. You are usually underestimated and forgotten.

Your inner child is curious, brainy, and maybe even a little gross.

You truly fear the dark side of humanity. You are a true misanthrope.

You're logical, rational, and not easily effected. Not a lot scares you... especially when it comes to the paranormal.

You are a traditionalist with most aspects of your life. You like your Halloween costume to be basic, well made, and conventional enough to wear another year.



I have started taking a class. I am hoping this class will not only help me gain a new skill, but also a renewed sense of freedom and purpose. Perhaps it will help pull me out of the doldrums...

I have been running into a LOT of brick walls lately (figuratively, not literally). This has brought feelings of confusion and hurt. I realize that most everyone goes through this at some point. I am tired of feeling this way.

I am living in a life of squalor (very much not like me). I seem to have lost my fervor for organization.

Despite many, MANY frustrations as of late, God is still good. He brings encouragement when I feel despondent. Lights of hope when I have lost my way. Warmth of His presence when I am alone.

I will leave you with a quote from another blog that seems appropriate:
"That's part of what keeps us going, I suppose, routines and love and stupid, foolish hope that we won't really destroy the very thing that enables our existence." The Wednesday Chef- October 22, 2007
