		<description><![CDATA[Hey DM,
I&#039;ve been in a bit of a funk, too, not sure if it&#039;s lifting entirely or slowly starting to....I am aware, however, that I once identified a pattern, in college, of slow &quot;funkiness&quot; 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&#039;d mention it in case it related to your experience at all...

glad to hear your funk has lifted.  If it&#039;s stayed lifted.  

Take care!
&lt;strong&gt;___________________________
Lisa,  it was so much fun to get  that plethora  of comments by you the other day on multiple blog posts...my &quot;funk&quot; 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&#039;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.  &lt;/strong&gt; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was sad to read, hope by now you&#039;re feeling a little less &quot;funky&quot; 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&#039;s just my opinion. I would read your books!

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been in a funk, too! At least we can know we&#039;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 &quot;Like&quot; but I did want to say a bit more and that I haven&#039;t forgotten you!
________________________________
&lt;strong&gt;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&#039;s what suffering sometimes does to a person..even a little bird. :-)&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am keenly aware of being in a &quot;funk&quot;... 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!!!

		<description><![CDATA[I am not sure how to reply in a private email &amp; 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

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;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 &amp; every day!
