Liz's Letters

This evening, I sent a message to my friend. She and I have the kind of friendship where we might go weeks or months without having a conversation, but she is often on my heart and in my prayers. I invited her to do a book study with me this summer and have totally dropped the ball. My message said, "Can you do lunch this week? Crazy busy here with weddings and funerals." My next message will be an apology for my neglect. And she will forgive. What I know is my friend will forgive me and we will meet, catch up, laugh, maybe even cry a bit...because my life has been busy with a wedding and a funeral - since my friend and I were together a little more than 3 weeks ago. The wedding, I knew was coming (although it came quickly!) but the funeral, not the case. I didn't actually attend the funeral since it was in Washington DC area (a good distance from Texas), but I was there in heart and spirit with my son and his fiance' - the one who lost her father. I loved her ...

It has been nearly a month since I posted a blog post. My thoughts about this blog have changed drastically since it began. I just don't have that much to say. I started blogging because I moved from the east coast to the big state of Texas...and I had friends there who I thought might read my blog to discover what life was like since the move. Then I discovered the power of internet and later found that I didn't really enjoy so many people reading my blog. (this was after I thought it was cool) I have met some people that I would consider friends as a result of blogging and that has been pretty cool. But, blogging just doesn't hold the same pleasure it once did. hmmm. Just thinking - aloud - about the direction of Liz's Letters.
