I feel like I'm always trying to get back into the blogging world, always trying to get caught up so I can blog again--real processing-the-moment blogging--and keep up again with my dear still-blogging friends who haven't capitulated entirely to facebook. <br /><br />As for social interactions gone awry, been there, done that. Ugh. But I've found that most people know I mean well and love them in my heart of hearts, so it all works out eventually. Even though we haven't had many opportunities to hang out in "real life," I admire you tremendously and consider you one of the most sincere and loving people I know. For what it's worth. :)<br /><br />Anyway, I loved reading Sara's declaration of Christ's love. She's going to do amazing things for Him wherever she goes!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780716176071346576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511312330612810834.post-50471894507413611052013-11-15T11:00:10.764-05:002013-11-15T11:00:10.764-05:00First, congratulations, Grandma!

Here's hoping her visa comes through quickly.<br /><br />Third, you are not alone. There are times when I limit my human interaction to only completely necessary ones because I know I cannot be trusted to be kind. Please don't move on account of that! I know it's difficult to repair relationships when it feels like you're not at fault because the Natural Woman got loose and did some things that you would never normally do, but those who love you and know you will freely forgive and chalk it up to a bad day or whatever. Cuz we know how sweet and wonderful you really are. {{{big hugs}}} Love you!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645303554623431065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511312330612810834.post-80794051511479081812013-11-15T05:52:10.672-05:002013-11-15T05:52:10.672-05:00YES and it's the worst. It seems to go in shif...YES and it's the worst. It seems to go in shifts for me, one undesirable interaction after another and then randomly I bloom out of my funk and am relieved to be considerate, easy going, fun to be around Jessie again. I particularly hate when I'm in a poor interaction mode because I'm fully aware of when I'm being [over sensitive, selfish, unyielding, judgmental, unforgiving, or just lame] and then I feel worse because I'm not in the mood to change it. You'll figure it out - you have so much good in your life and are so strong for so many people...I bet you're doing better than you let yourself realize. All this not to diminish how you're feeling, because I (think) I get it and it's not really something you can control completely, but a reminder that we are always in motion and cycling through phases and this one will pass, just like the others.<br />Although you had me at "breakfast at the local cafe."Jessie and Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246596820604849115noreply@blogger.com
