Slacker blogger

I am sorry blogging community, I have been negligent lately. But the blogging spirit hasn't moved me lately. I have plenty of things that I want to write about and that I want to share, but I don't have the motivation or maybe the will to sit down and write about it. I've been missing Kyle a lot lately. I like to visit the blog sometimes just so I can look at the picture of him kissing me in Karen's garden. I like to pretend, I am in the picture right at that moment and I can feel his arms strong around my waist, loving and secure, and his soft lips pressing up against my cheek as his beautiful luscious hair tickles my face. If only he were here already. If only I could close my eyes and when I opened them he would be standing miraculously in front of me. But he isn't here, and the truth is, I still don't know when I can throw my arms around his neck in the tightest hug next to a choke hold there is. And the not knowing is driving me crazy and throwing my spirits into a downward spiral. Maybe I am feeling this way because I just watched "Juno" which could possibly be described as a romantic comedy which always make me miss Kyle. Maybe tomorrow when I wake up I will feel close to normal again and possibly even happy. I hope so. I am tired of this hole in my heart that this distance has caused, and I am tired of the pillow I hug in place of Kyle at night. Come home to me soon my darling. And to my bloggy readers, I will try and be a better blogger, but I'm not making any promises.

Stephanie said...: Ohh it makes my heart ache to read this. For you and for me. I wish I could tell you it gets easier and in some ways it does...BUT we know it won't be forever. And in between the sadness, the memory of happy moments keep us going, because my friend, there will be more and that is the happiest thing of all :)

Hope to hear from you soon...and I can promise this, the blues come and go, you will feel happier some days than others. It's only natural!; Sat Jan 10, 09:16:00 AM PST

You have nothing to apologize for. It's been three days. If it was two weeks and you had nothing else going on, then you might have to apologize for something.

(Ha, I just went two months without posting on any of my blogs...)

<3 and I hope Kyle will come soon,

Welcome

Thank you for visiting our blog. Originally, this blog started as a template for my (Vanessa) thoughts. Over time, it has evolved to be a travel memoir and a general journal for our( my husband and my) life together. Kyle and I have been married for nearly 4 years now, but have been together, forever, since December 2000. We are so lucky to have found true love, and thank God everyday for our many blessings. We are from Texas but have been transported across the world to teach English in Korea for an indefinite amount of time. The culture of Korea is interesting and different and always provides great writing material. If you would like to follow us on this wild and crazy ride, please subscribe above. Once again thank you, and we would love to hear from you!

My favorite quotes

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. -Confucius

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but rather we are Spiritual Beings having a human experience - anonymous

Imagination is more important than knowledge, for whilst knowledge points to all there is, imagination points to all there could be. Albert Einstein

"Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. " ~ Cadet Maxim

The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions ~ Oliver Wendell

No Difference / Shel Silverstein

Small as a peanut Big as a giant,

We're all the same size

When we turn off the light.

Red black or orange,

Yellow or white

We all look the same

When we turn off the light.

So maybe the way

To make everything right

Is for God to just reach out

And turn off the light!

To the dull mind all nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“If the only tool we have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." Abraham Maslow

More quotes

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. - Marianne Williamson

"I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we too, will be remembered not for our victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit."
-President John F. Kennedy

"Listen to the MUSTN'T, child,

Listen to the DON'Ts

Listen to the SHOULDN'Ts

The IMPOSSIBLES,

the WON'Ts

Listen to the NEVER HAVEs

Then listen close to me--

Anything can happen, child,

ANYTHING can be."

Shel Silverstein

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
Marie Curie

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.” (Pablo Neruda)

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don’t know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.
~Pablo Neruda

Hope is like a bird that senses the dawn and carefully starts to sing while it is still dark. - Anonymous

If we all did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves. Thomas Edison

Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind. - Sri Ramana Maharsh

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. "- J.R.R Tolkien

Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them.
- Robert R. Updegraff
