It's funny but i used to think i thought a lot like Kathleen Norris or any other author that could take the time and effort to sit and write.. all those things i would like to write yet never really even think about until i get a moment to read some one else's work and think to myself "i would think just like that.. only.. i never let myself go there" or so it seems..you've taken Kathleens spot and now.. you make everything "clear" anyway.. i love to feel like i was there.. picturing ethan.. and you.. i can see your face and hear the tone of your voice..i can even imagine i see what ethan does and sounds like and looks like.. i like to think i know him better than i do.. it's sweet.. so sweet.. a good place for me to render myself.. and yet like you i could wrap myself in the "thought" and let it get carried away.. and it becomes my "drug" too.. you make perfect sense:)<BR/><BR/> i miss you. reflecting on how much you mean to me..yet days and weeks go by before i make myself get a card i bought months ago to send you.. and get to it.. so.. i love you.. more than i show.. and these little bits of you are precious. i read and reread them placing me there and you here.. i'll be home for a short time soon. love love love..Simon Joostehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510763038105496474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875824550445097856.post-32613774950444764522007-09-22T20:35:00.000-07:002007-09-22T20:35:00.000-07:00Hi Deana,Thank you so much for reading my blogs. I...Hi Deana,<BR/>Thank you so much for reading my blogs. I can't tell you how much your responses mean to me:) <BR/>I just don't have a lot of friends that get on the internet. I really don't have a lot of friends, period:). <BR/>I always am jealous when I see Emery's comments; I swear she always has like eight or ten even!!<BR/>I am also embarressed to ask people to check it out. It's enough though just to have you read it. Joey reads it secretly; one time I asked him to read one and he said, "I already read that one." I was so happy:) It would be fun if Daelynn would read them too. She doesn't seem like she has a lot of extra time though...<BR/>Well, look foward to the next time we talk. Love you lots!<BR/>DanaeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875824550445097856.post-21050484531397493902007-09-22T08:53:00.000-07:002007-09-22T08:53:00.000-07:00I think just like you (or do you think just like m...I think just like you (or do you think just like me...? :)<BR/>I often think that a pedicure will make all my woes go away - and they do - for the 30 minutes it's actually happening.<BR/>But everything I've tried (shopping, baking, pampering, vegging out, etc.) so far doesn't help me with those moments, like you've said, when I feel like Simon just doesn't understand how hard it is to be a mommy.<BR/>I think I'm learning that this is something special between God and me (and every other mommy out there) and Simon may never understand. And that's okay, because I'm sure I don't understand how hard it is for him to be my provider AND go through seminary AND have a son that keeps him up at night (and he doesn't get to take naps at lunchtime like I do) AND have pretty exhausting health problems. Often, after I quit thinking about ME and start trying to understand his life I feel much better. Even better than what I feel like after a pedicure :) And we don't fight as much - what a concept.<BR/>I really enjoy reading your posts, Danae - Simon thinks you're a gifted writer too :)Simon Joostehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510763038105496474noreply@blogger.com
