Sitting on the couch, under a warm blanket, as the afternoon sun streams in from the windows on the west side of my house, I realize that the house is quiet, very quiet. The only sound I hear is the heavy breathing of my dear, sweet MyMy sleeping on the couch across the room and the occasional hum of the fridge. It is Sunday afternoon at the Voss household and everyone is tucked away in soft, warm beds for a coveted nap.
Me, on the other hand am not able to seek the solitude of slumber today. Thoughts of folding laundry, making dinner, planning primary music, lesson plans, girls camp, are interrupting my desires to sleep.
Still wanting the quiet solitude, and feeling short-changed that I am not getting a nap for the week, I began browsing the internet looking for something to read. I finally ended up here. It has almost been a year since my last visit. My promise then was to come back, but I can see that I have failed miserably.
Since then, I have completed my training, without the Master's degree, and realize that I do have some available time to dust off the cobwebs and begin blogging again. But, where do I begin? I have lost two years of many happenings. Do I try and catch up, or just blog from where I am right now? This question will haunt me, and has haunted me for some time, and I may never be able to answer it.
I can say this, my blog has been calling for me, and I have ignored it for some time now because I don't know how to answer the question above. The urge was too strong to ignore today, and so here I am dropping in for a short moment to see how it feels. It feels good to be back, but daunting on where to begin. All I hear right now is the quiet, but hopefully soon, the posts will begin to take shape and the stories will come. I have been quiet too long.
