It seems that my life cycles round and round, and every now and then I come back to that place of overwhelming sadness. Eventually I wake up from it and begin loving life again. It reminds me of the Sufjan Steves song where he writes: "He came to my bedroom, but I was asleep. He woke me up again to say Hallelujah, holy is the sound . . ." <br />I feel like I fall asleep on life sometimes, but God always wakes me up.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04740056176455468082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254441750897952230.post-55980105777455964002009-11-13T09:39:02.725-06:002009-11-13T09:39:02.725-06:00very beautiful Natalie:) I enjoy your blog because...very beautiful Natalie:) I enjoy your blog because I'm going through a very similar time.

Maybe it's the excitement of creating something new that pushes me out of lethargy, or maybe the mechanical motions of my hands also stir my thoughts to move. In any case, I'm happy to know it helped you.<br /><br />I also wanted to say thanks for the lovely post card you sent me. It's now displayed prominently on my fridge!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13862552405099797544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254441750897952230.post-78763874380405410362009-11-12T18:56:48.260-06:002009-11-12T18:56:48.260-06:00I've had an absolutely awful day today, and in...I've had an absolutely awful day today, and in truth an awful month, and your words are what make me feel better. They help to keep me from crawling into the dark place which you describe. It's so wonderful to read words which are filled with such honesty and clarity. Your blog brightens my day and lightens my soul, and I hope you keep that in mind as you go about your days, the good and bad ones.<br /><br />Thank you for writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254441750897952230.post-61343751520683421862009-11-12T13:13:46.680-06:002009-11-12T13:13:46.680-06:00so happy to hear you are feeling more like you. t...so happy to hear you are feeling more like you. that's the most important thing in the world. i'm glad you're able to take a little bit of time to do something just for you, to make yourself happy. take care of yourself. xoJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710106273998131443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254441750897952230.post-70896658750122834642009-11-12T12:51:47.269-06:002009-11-12T12:51:47.269-06:00Natalie, your words are beautiful.
