here's to pushing

This blog, much like its author, is in transition.  I'm trying to decide what to do with it.  For the last 3 years, I've continued to TRY to find humor in everyday life, but I don't seem to think much is funny anymore, outside of my Facebook conversations.  

I've toyed with making this a Childbirth Blog or a Parenting Blog or even a Real Food Blog (though I'm not quite ready for that one yet), but everytime I start to write and I think, "Who am I to be writing about this?" and that causes me to put down my imaginary pen.  

So, back to transition.  In childbirth, transition is the most difficult part.  There's intense pain and inward-focusing and often screaming.  BUT, once it's over, you push out something wonderful.  Or at least something human.

Here's to pushing.

You aren't allowed to stop writing all together so don't even entertain that thought. Any of the above topics would be great..maybe a combo of all 3!

Yeah, what she said.

I feel like I need to change my name to Sara.
I hear what you're saying. My problem is worrying too much about my audience. "I can't write about X because so-and-so will read it. If I write about Y, what will so-and-so think of me?"
I hope you continue writing. One of the things I enjoy about your blog is that you cover a variety of topics.
I also want to drive down and just give you a hug. You've seemed sad for a really long time. There was a time a few years ago when I prayed Psalm 30:11 many times a day and begged God to make it true for me. I'm praying the same for you.

I'm still reading, and whatever choice you make is Ok with me. You truly are in a transition, so if you choose to take a hiatus, or change the subject, or write less frequently, do whatever it takes to feed your soul. The empty nest can be a struggle, I know. Hugs!,

Yep. Transitions are always hard. Too bad our God is always wanting to change us, huh? (I am *not* being sarcastic) I will wait patiently for whatever you decide to do with this blog. Love you!

You have to write something. I gobble it up. You are my life inspiration. I plan on running my house and raising my children almost exactly like you. Lord knows I can't get parenting advice from my parents, they sucked at it, meanwhile, Kacey and Kevin are two of the most amazing, well rounded individuals I know. And even thought you were on a budget and lived like the Amish, your house was my favorite place in the world. Still is. So in summary, write whatever you must, as long as I get all of my life advice...

Praying for you as you are in transition. I wish I could hang out with you in person a lot more frequently, but I have learned a lot from you in your writing. You are a blessing to me.
