The Emptiness of Words

Hilo Palms Wailoa Park

I am finding a emptiness in my words... I think its the feeling that things are over the top in the media..(if it wernt for EWTN I would toss the tube...) What is good is "bad" and what is "bad"is "good". Its what the writer of Ecclesiastes says "All is emptiness and vapor in the wind..."

Woody and I had the day together, what will be a rare weekday as long as I work at "thisplace". My vision varies from perfect to "had one too many drinks" fuzzy. I did drive and it was a tad bit scary. But we will keep trying. We went to Brio Brioso, a local South American Grill that has a great lunch buffet. Was a nice birthday treat. Did a bit of shopping and ran home. The weather was strange, a warm wind blew strongly from the time I woke until now and yet we have had no storm break and sadly no rain, which we need badly.

I have been so very glad to be home for this past two weeks and see that I could be happy at home here. I went to a morning prayer meeting that was wonderful and I know that I would find plenty to do in the homemaking department. I wouldnt get bored.

I have been writing a lot of letters and doing a lot of praying in addition to finishing the unpacking and tidying up. I remember when I felt this "emptiness of words" in Hawaii and emersing myself in personal contact really helps this as I think is a symptom of depression. Building your life takes time, and I need to be paitent.
