This is one of those things that shouldn’t need to be said, but then again, maybe it does need to get said every once in a long while.
“everyone is different”
I really appreciated all the helpful, sweet, sensitive things that have been posted here in the last few days. The comfort you guys have [...]

no real reason I guess. Just in a weird frame of mind.
too much stuff in my head and heart. Nothing tragic, so don’t freak.
bad hair cut, not really “feelin’ the love” at work right now, just finished reading a very emotionally difficult story about a woman who carried her baby for quite a [...]

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know”
Jeremiah 33:3
My husband and I were listening to a CD this morning. I was a bit out of sorts (late night, post-choir-rehearsal dinner outing makes for a cranky me on Thursday mornings) and I just didn’t [...]

okay, here we go again.
Yet another, unmarried lady in my office has just announced that she is pregnant.
I’ve lost track of how many that is now.

…..even when you don’t have kids.

Ever been reading along in a book and gotten so frustrated with the struggles that the hero/heroine is going through that you feel an almost overwhelming desire to turn to the last page and see how it all turns out?

Martin and I were reading a devotional on grief. One of the questions we were supposed to think about was of the “record your feelings from a time when you lost someone dear to you” order. And that’s when it occurred to me:

I don’t know how many of my readers have wanted children and not been able to have them. So I don’t know if this will have meaning for you.

Stop reading now.
But for all who have been following the changing emotional states of Deirdre and are actually interested in my life.
