Long time coming:

I haven't posted anything on my blog for well over a year. What's my excuse? Help me out here...

The _________ ate my __________.

My ____________ got sick and died.

I didn't have time because I had to go to _____________.

There's just not enough _____________ to get every thing done.



Make up your own, if you want. I just don't have any excuse that will sound plausible except one: Honey Nut Cheerios.
Honey Nut Cheerios. I like them in a cereal bowl well enough but I really like them as a snack. They sort of represent comfort food. And I guess that's what I'm talking about. My excuse is that I've been busy trying to get comfortable.... not an easy accomplishment in this day and age.
But I've had some good doses of comfort over the past year I could talk about. In a nutshell and in no particular order):
Time with the love of my life, Pat.
Visits from and to my kids and their families.
Successes and acknowledgments at work.
Playing WOW with my kids.
My dear sweet little granddaughter, Lilly.
Directing the church choir.
Doing crossword puzzles on those off-days.
Holding my brand-new grandson!

Lots of other things as well. Anyway, I guess any excuse I could give is lame. Bottom line: I haven't posted an entry for all this time and now I have. I'll try to post more frequently in the future. A couple ideas for upcoming posts:
Lost, the series
Bad drivers
Running tips
Scripture commentary.

Intrigued? Me too! I hope they will be interesting...

Meanwhile, A Gaelic Blessing to send you on your way (you can hear at this link):

Deep peace of the running wave to you...
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep peace of Christ, of Christ, the light of the world to you.
Deep peace of Christ to you.
