I have no idea what "homie" even means, that just sounded hysterical.
I'm in a very good mood because the sun is finally shining here today ... I took the dog out this morning in a T-shirt due to his aging leaky bladder not being able to wait until I got a coat; and while the -10F wind chill definitely did bite, I could still feel the sun's warmth and it was glorious.
And there was a bird singing in my neighbor's yard!! Not a winter bird chirping while he poked around in the snow, but a spring bird - it had a cascading sort of call, so I think it could have been a lark or a finch. I can't wait for spring to come!!

I've been thinking a little about the purpose of this blog lately ... not reconsidering it, more like trying to sharpen and clarify it. I originally designed this blog to be less of an emotional dumping place than "Sunshine and Shadow," and more of a daily chronicle of things I did and saw. Because I tend to belabor my "Sunshine" posts so badly, though (sometimes taking several weeks just to write one post), I'm finding my "Captain's Log" posts drifting away from what I did that day and toward becoming a daily sound bite of my thoughts. Which is okay, I guess; but it's not what I originally wanted for this blog.
So I'm not going to overthink things and force my daily entries to become activity records if they really want to be emotional vents; but I am going to try to broaden them a bit and talk more about the world outside my own pitiful little head. Like, for example, posting this morning about the birds outside and the coffee in my big mug and the swollen painfulness of my poor pink eyes, rather than emoting about the powerful post on prayer that I just read and how bad it's making me feel about myself and my walk with Christ. That is a topic for "Sunshine." Because, as we all know, that blog is really more about the shadows than the sunshine anyway. :-) The joys of a gloomy personality.

I'm going to shut off all my technology now and see if I can spend an entire morning without listening to music or looking at Facebook. Wish me luck!!
Love,
Vicki

Ohhh... I'm sorry you had pink eye! I've been blessed not to ever have ever had that sickness, but my sister has at least twice, and I know how miserable it was for her. I pray that you are feeling much better now. :)
How exciting you were able to hear some spring birds! Right now, I have my windows open, and hear a chorus of them at my bird feeder. I hope it warms up quickly for ya'll up there, and you are able to enjoy some glorious spring warmth. :D
And even though I don't comment on here as often, I do enjoy reading your posts, and taking time to pray for you if I read you're having a rough day. :)
Hugs to you, my friend!
