back to the blog

my last blog, which was a while back, was possibly the final hurdle, the last thorn to remove from my side. nowadays, i'm not even thinking about my feelings, which is why i barely even think to blog. you know those times in your life when you're "status quo"? and it's so peaceful. you don't feel a deep need to read self help or pray your guts out, kneeling on the side of your bed, clinging to your pillow, crying. there's nothing to journal about. it's just peaceful. my prayers consist of, "thanks, God. good job, as always. you really know what you're doing, don't ya? keep up the good work. anything you need from me?" those sort of prayers. checking in with the Big Guy.
and of course, God is probably saying to me, "sarah, where are you? have you checked out?" sorry, God.
but i just so enjoy these times of not overwhelming emotions flowing from my brain at all times. that's so the norm for me. gets so old. even though i'm not very inspiring during these times, i enjoy the productivity and balance.
that's all i have to say about that...
anybody inspiring out there? :)

balance is bliss.

Sometimes I think that whole "I gotta be depressed to the brink of doing myself in or I'm not creative" business is barbecued horse-patookey.

Some of the greatest things have been written out of blissful content.

I think that God is happy that you are happy! Enjoy this blissful time :) and let's do LUNCH - I'm HUUUUUUNGRY :)

isn't it nice, ladies, to have a man write on this blog? especially a guy who knows how to spell horse-patookey correctly.
ha!

I totally lol with that one. That is going into my vocabulary. My friends won't know what to think.

speaking further on contentment ~ on my way home from yoga class this morning, i noticed the clouds moving out after a long rain last night. the whole west side of the sky was this gorgeous, fresh blue. and once again, i was finding myself looking around and smiling, loving it here. i wonder if other people feel this way about it down here? i mean, i'm not exactly talking about the french riviera. this is overland park.
i've lived in some gorgeous parts of the world, but nothing has made me happier than living here. it just feels like home for maybe the first time in my adult life.
