Having trouble jumpstarting, plus yep, I'm old
It's really hard to get back into the swing of things after being away for two weeks...I'm not really doing my goal_posts goals properly, nor anything else for that matter. I think about adding something to my lj and then think bleh, who wants to read about the boring minutiae of my life and/or my stress and anxiety over Rupel's job search, which are pretty much the things that are happening in my brain at this morning. This despite the fact that I went to a very inspiring evening session (one night only) at the Friends General Conference Gathering--it was titled as "spiritual journaling" but it was really journaling in general with ideas you could apply to spiritual journals. But I am so mentally sluggish right now...that's what worry can do to you, I guess. So, later for that, and meanwhile, proof that I belong in the history books:
