You’d think that, being home again and settling into the old routine, I would have spent a portion of my day yesterday getting caught up on my blog reading.
Ah, not so much.
And I can’t use emotional trauma or physical exhaustion as an excuse. I’m actually feeling surprisingly good. Miraculously good, even. I’ve little doubt that all the prayers being said on behalf of our family are having a profound impact on our health and sanity.
No, I spent all my free time yesterday exploring www.blogskins.com. Oh. My. There are some pretty blog templates there. And as long as you give kudos to the artist, they’re free.
However, as most of the artists are in the teenage angst stage of life, it was very difficult to find a template that wasn’t full of mournful song lyrics. I fell in love with template after template, only to have it ruined by someone’s broken heart.
At last, shortly before (alright, after) bedtime, I chanced upon this one. It startled me with it’s beauty, and I love what it conveys. Also, the child pictured has red hair and brown eyes, just like my Emma, so it touched my heart in that respect as well.
I know that I’m avoiding the inevitable here. I have so much to put into words. So many lessons learned. But the intensity of it all leaves me feeling inadequate, so I’m afraid to make the attempt.
Soon.

I like the template! I need to get me a new one, I’m getting bored with mine.
I love this! It makes your blog look all artsy and wonderful!
Glad you’re doing well!
Sometimes procrastinating is what helps us process and heal.
I like your new header!
a beautiful blog for a beautiful woman . . . seems quite appropriate to me! :)
So SO gorgeous. It’s full of life and beauty and your personality. LOVE IT!!!!
Wow; very pretty! I like it, too.
Still thinking of you. *hugs*
O.K. I love it. I mean REALLY love it. The colors are awesome and GO REDHEADS!
LOVE the new changes!
Great template–I’m amazed at how creative people can get. So sorry about your mom, and best of luck. As I get older it’s almost as hard to watch my parents age as it is to see my children grow up. Sounds like your heart and spirit are in the right place. God bless.
Fabulous!!! I’ve been online all day looking at new templates (I don’t know if I should thank you for that or not!) :) I have it narrowed down to two templates…still deciding! Can you tell me how to change it once I do decide??? Did you just copy the code and insert it into your blog? Do you have sign up for an account? email me!) Thanks!
well, i like it. no rush on getting your feelings into words. it will happen eventually. you’re awesome!
I like it, but I miss your picture in the sidebar.
No worries about you still being in the process of processing all that you have been going through. You will write about it if and when the time is right.
I love your new look!
Take your time putting it into words. You’ve been through a lot in a short period. Give it time.
Love the new look! :D
Best wishes to your Mom for a continued recovery. With a strong supportive family, as you seem to be, around her she’ll do well.
Nice new look :)
The template. It is beautiful!
Teenage angst, so sad.
Glad to hear that you are feeling good after all that has happened!
Love the new look! I can’t wait to move over to my new fancy Wordpress blog!
Very nice!!
Lovely template.
I’ve done my template research. Now I’m hooked on looking for new ones.
Loving the new look!
hi kimmy: sometimes procrastinating isn’t really procrastinating. sometimes it is the body’s way of finding some peaceful quiet place to just be for awhile until you are ready to come up for air and deal with the next adversity or to savor the beauty in a simple moment and blessing.
