I love the old joke that goes something like "I usually try to take it one day at a time, but lately several days have attacked me at once!" Well, that was how I experienced 2009. Challenging, a shaking to the roots, busy, emotional, draining.
And now having fallen into 2010, there is just the mundane stuff that I longed for ... and big tracts of time BUT absolutely not one ounce of motivation to do any of the things I so looked forward to. There really seems no point just now. So I am crocheting and knitting (haha, do I hear?).
And I feel so productive multitasking, knitting a row or crocheting a round as my very, very slow computer loads pages at an ever-so-leisurely pace, echoing my new rythmn. (Anyone got some wool scraps for my granny-squares?)
Not sure how much longer I can stand it, but if you ask, sometimes you get what you ask for! And I asked for SLOW and QUIET.
Going on a (spiritual - Christian) retreat in early May so maybe I will be able to at last put my new-found slowness into hearing from God - about what is next.
