The variety of things here is fabulous, but as Anon said, the waters seem shallow to you because you're used to them.<BR/><BR/>Hey, I'd like to send you an invite to my blog, soon to be private.

And...Good post, and I'm glad you're still writing. And if you're still nervous, even though we all have shared that we know you are a deep thinker with a lot to share on your blog even in the simplest of posts, you could just imagine we're all in our underwear. Isn't that what they tell you in speech class? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for today's comment. I hear what you are saying, and could tell you that one of my mentors could totally relate to what you shared. I watched her pray about it for seven years and then watched in shock as her prayers got answered with an even bigger "yes" than any of us had imagined. So you never know. Your perspective could bring inspiration, and your original dreams could turn up coming true.....if that makes sense without spelling it out in detail.Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17698318.post-20514566710369626252008-02-12T09:32:00.000-08:002008-02-12T09:32:00.000-08:00You're FABULOUS!

The commute story gave me shivers and as always, you make me a kinder driver to all the bikers during my commute time, I only wish I could do it, maybe when I'm not carting the kids to and fro during my commute or they're big enough to ride one of those 4 person bikes:) I get the long work weeks, been doing those the last few as well, T-I-R-E-D, hang in there and yay on the dogsitter stuff too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17698318.post-39104295935356094362008-02-12T07:40:00.000-08:002008-02-12T07:40:00.000-08:00Having grown up in HUGE mountains (*ahem* can we s...Having grown up in HUGE mountains (*ahem* can we say the Himalayas?), I know that even the tiniest wild flower holds unfathomably pure and deep beauty for a beholder.<BR/>I love your bike adventure stories - I think of you whenever I see a brave soul bicyling on snow and ice in subzero temps; I think, 'I won't be surprised if OTRgirl could manage to do that if she were to live here..." <BR/>Corgi!
