Relief?

I enrolled Jake in school.  Public school. 

God sure does have a sense a humor.  Joke's always on me.

I feel relieved, though, at turning over the ocean liner to Him.  Because it really has felt like an ocean liner.  And that's because I've been trying to steer it myself, all myself, for so long. 

The moments before I release my grip is always an eternity.  But with release comes renewal.

This is the longest lent I've ever lived through!

Living Out Loud

Do you live out loud?

Do your friends and family know all? 

In today's age of social media I suppose living out loud via facebook and twitter and even blogging are the norm.

But how much do we really share with one another?

I have a very close friend whose worries and joys I can list immediately.  And another whose struggles and triumphs are revealed after the wrap-up.

I don't think one style is acceptable over another.  But it's made me aware that I live pretty quietly.  My friends and family seem surprised when I reveal some inner working going on inside my psyche.

All this to say I'm not sure how I want this blogging to go anymore.  There's been alot of change in this corner and I'm still deciding how to proceed.  I just don't feel comfortable blogging about the process like my propensity not to share aloud the process with the intimates in my life.

My reflections are always valuable to me after the fact...maybe safer in a way as it allows me to edit ; )
