Quick Friday Takes

• I haven't blogged in so long, I've forgotten how...almost!
• I spend most of my online time on Facebook, or email, or researching for my class I'm teaching (Reading and Writing).
• I'm thinking about a break from Facebook.
• By deactivating my account.
• Just during the weeks I'm grading research papers and finals.
• Because what I discovered is, if I have to, I can work hard when the computer is off.
• I'm behind on my Wives of Faith editorial stuff.
• Just looking at the emails piling up stresses me out.
• I'm about to take my dog to the groomer's.
• We're settling into life here in our new state.
• It's pretty much just as busy as everywhere else---school, work, chapel activities, base activities.
• Except surrounded by mountains and trees changing colors to suit the autumn.
• We're fine.
• Really.
• I do miss my friends in the "lower 48" a lot.
• I'm making new friends.
• But that takes time.
• I haven't been writing and I feel all pent up with words.
• I also feel like I'm missing opportunities for expression.
• But I'm not sure.
• I still fight the spectre of insecurity, the sin of not trusting.
• But in many other ways, our life is blessed, and happy, and busy, and good.
• How about you?
