I’ve been in a funk now for about 6 weeks.
It wasn’t until yesterday that I could finally put my finger on why.
Due to the personal nature of two of the issues, I would be foolish to post it here on my blog…
_____________
I’m one of those people who process life out loud.
It helps for me to get all of my stuff out on the table, so I can look at it.
Historically, I have used this blog to process life. ..hence the name of my blog : heart to heart.
I would still be willing to process these things that are dogging me..only, it will have to be one on one.
You’ll have to shoot me an e-mail
I write because I enjoy it. I used to have illusions of grandeur that I would have something published that would touch people.
Not any more.
In fact, the older I get, the less I want to change the world at large.
I have enough to keep me busy trying to figure out myself.
___________________
I wanted to write something this morning to break the silence.
There is a small handful of you who do regularly stop by this blog and interact.
I enjoy that.
Thank you .
The older I get, the more I value the time we have each been given.

I’ve found blogging to be very cathartic; writing helps me verbalize my concerns in such a way that later on, when I least expect it, I find clarity.
Wishing you peace today & every day!

I did take that photo the last time I was home .. my sister and our border collie used to “play drive” in it
It was the stuff imaginations are born of!

I am not sure how to reply in a private email & seem unable to locate the private email within the blog. User error, I’m sure but I am more comfortable responding in a not-so-public way. Can you help me with this?
Thanks, Jane
PS – I see quite a few folks who follow heart-to-heart, so your following is not so small. J
only by leaving a comment and I would then in turn reply to them directly 
Which I will do so now… ps. it says I have 108 followers..but the majority of them I never hear from and suspect they are dormant DM

Hummm…good question Jane (where would a person find my e-mail on the blog?

I am keenly aware of being in a “funk”… over the years I have had various reasons…some good…some bad. Regardless of your reasons, I am confident that you will work your way through it. As always, I will continue to pray for you and your family and trust that the lessons learned will be fodder for future insight in your writing. God Bless you and your family!!!

I’ve been in a funk, too! At least we can know we’re not alone. I think of you and Mrs. DM and Little Moe, of course. I limit my typing due to my stupid chronic pain issues with my arms/hands… Sometimes all I can do is hit “Like” but I did want to say a bit more and that I haven’t forgotten you!

Thanks for thinking of me Barb. I took little moe out last night to get some fresh air…I thought of you… he has such a gentle disposition for a rooster…I think that’s what suffering sometimes does to a person..even a little bird.

sorry you’re in a funk. I read all your stuff, just don’t always leave a comment.
Really enjoying your mercy ship posts. Thanks for stopping by. DM

This was sad to read, hope by now you’re feeling a little less “funky” I enjoy your blog thoroughly and your writing is very helpful for my life and my experiences. I think that you could be a writer professionally, that’s just my opinion. I would read your books!
while I am not a “professionally” published author I have self-published 2 books…along the lines of this blog. let me know if you’re interested in knowing more and I can tell you how to get them. DM

Hey DM,
I’ve been in a bit of a funk, too, not sure if it’s lifting entirely or slowly starting to….I am aware, however, that I once identified a pattern, in college, of slow “funkiness” creeping up starting in mid-September and into October…still not sure, for me, if this is a less-light thing, some more personal thing having to do with summer ending, or what…but it does seem to crop up many different years. just thought I’d mention it in case it related to your experience at all…
glad to hear your funk has lifted. If it’s stayed lifted.
Take care!

Lisa, it was so much fun to get that plethora of comments by you the other day on multiple blog posts…my “funk” was definitely due to a couple of issues in my life that I can put my finger on. As you know I do tend to hit a mid winter funk especially if I spend too much time inside in front of the computer I’ve discovered…I need that physical release I get from my construction job..plus the short cloudy days of Iowa winters definitely do feed it as well.
