Blah-g.

I just haven't been feelin' it.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm back to work and a bit more busy?
Or, if it's because I think my camera is broken and I hate every picture I/it takes?

Maybe it's because I'm getting sick of feeling, when I'm living, like I need to remember how it felt so that I can write about it, or I'm writing about it in my head while it's happening and I don't feel like I'm really living it?? Or I'm looking at it through my viewfinder and... oh, you get the picture. (And if you don't, I feel like I always do...)

Either way, I'm feeling blah-g. I'm thinking about taking a break. And I'm writing about it, too.
So, there.

Everyone needs a break now and then. You'll know when the timing is right for you. Do what you need to do.

what? we're allowed to take breaks? how come no one told me about this rule? I may have to follow suit for a bit. :)

I hear you. It does get weird when you feel like you are writing your blog as it happens, and then you wonder did i contrive this entire situation just for a good blog post? The lines get blurred. Take a break! You deserve it.

Emily,
As much as I look forward to your blog entries, I prefer you to be happy to write the lovely posts that cheer me up, bring tears to my eyes and make me laugh out loud every time I read them!

Take care of yourself. I'll be around when you are ready to write again.

XOXO Miya

Hey lady, we're moving back to the Milwaukee area so that Josh can finish up his final year at the Seminary. (He completed an internship this year) Not quite the best timing to move, but gotta do it!

Hope all is well...
