Dear Dancing In The Rain,

I'm sorry

I'm neglecting you.

I miss you. Really I do.

But, you see, life

is happening all around me.

And I would miss it more

if I neglected it.

But I know that you'll be here

when I'm ready to fill you with words and pictures again.

Cause I will.

Soon.

I promise.

Next time I'm not

tending to

sinks full of dishes,

couches piled with laundry,

scraped knees,

kids drying off from the pool,

filling the cupboards and fridge,

vacuuming up crumbs,

picking up dirty clothes,

picking up books and toys,

exercising this body,

painting little girl's toenails,

packing for a trip to the park,

cuddling waking babes,

dating my husband,

worshiping my King,

building and nurturing my friendships,

visiting with family,

I'll tend to you.

You understand, don't you?

I can't wait. It's my daily connection to you. It's how I hear your voice when we can't talk on the phone. It's how I see your children grow up when we aren't spending time together.

But less selfishly, I rejoice in your commitment to the important things in your life. So, I'll wait and continue to love you from here daily.

So go. Live your life, love on your husband, sing to the King and kiss those kids!

Okay...so selfishly, I'm a bit irritated at your lack of blogginess. Because, Cat-a-lac, you and I "get" eachother....and I miss ya when you aren't around.

But, unselfishly, I'm so proud of you. Because walking away from these dern computers is hard. And you are such a stronger woman than I.

Love ya.
