I've blogged every single day since 2011, which I think is a fairly decent streak, don't you? And yes, there have been many days in there when I've sat staring at a blinking cursor, completely blank about what to write.
I actually had something written for today and then it somehow didn't seem to fit, so I put it aside for another day. And then I prayed about what I should write for today.
Still blank.
Still blank and officially into this day.
Ryan and I both reentered the work force yesterday, and we both had extremely productive days. His people were good and kind to him (not that we would have expected anything different) and he felt showered with much love.
My people (Braeya) slept on the back of the couch and left me alone so I could crank out a whole bunch of work. I have some speaking coming up and needed to resume activity on my preparation. I felt really good about everything I accomplished, though there is much more yet to be done.
So here we are, back to work, and yet this part of my work gives me a blank today. I guess one day out of nine years isn't too bad, is it?
(In all fairness, there may be more brain-blanks ahead, so if you have any prompts for me, send them my way! Meanwhile, I'll try to be profound tomorrow.)
Much love to all of you, and yes (Mom) I'm still here.

Thinking of you both as you resume normalcy!
I've actually been impressed that you managed to blog through the whole week of Nita's death and funeral. Then of course I was worried when I didn't see a post from you today. Thanks for checking in and give yourself some grace for brain blankness. And we, your friends and readers, will give you grace too.
Much love and prayers coming your way still.
You could do a blog post about blogging and/ or other social media that you are active in. I’m curious if you write your posts prior to the day you publish them and then somehow “set” the post to publish at a certain time or if you write the post and publish almost simultaneously.
Whew! I thought I was going to have to put out an all points bulletin when yesterday's post came up!!! BLOGGER DOWN!!! :) Glad you're okay! It's so amazing that you haven't missed a day since 2011 . . . and your streak still continues!
I have never understood how you do it; to blog every single day!! I've offered in the past to give you some breaks but, you never would listen!! LOL!! Your consistency has spoiled us!! Just know that "blank" days are fine and you are still loved (AND understood!) Thank you for being so faithful! :)
I am amazed you never missed a day!!!
Girl your post just saying you guess went back to work and all is well is a great post in and of itself. Love.
It's been a crazy month and I say you need a fun dessert and a cuddle/movie night with Ryan to NOT think. :) XOXO
Oh my gosh, I didn't realize that you have blogged every single day! You are amazing!
Just chiming in here to say how much I appreciate your daily blogging. I love grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning and checking in. I've been really busy the last few days and have read your blog on the run but didn't have a chance to comment but wanted to say a few things: (1) The Annesley article "Leaving to Arrive" was/is amazing. You are so talented! (2) Nita was so young! Only 64. And to have 800 people at her viewing. Wow! She must have been an incredible woman, wife and mom. The largest viewing I have ever attended was last year and there was 500 people at that one for a friend tragically killed in a head on collision. We stood in line for over two hours and felt honored to do so. The pictures of Ryan with his Mom, praying, reading the Bible, etc., were incredible. And I see that Nita passed on her dimples to her son. (3) I definitely agree that everyone needs an Aaron and Hur in their lives. (4) That was such an amazing thing for Allen to stop by the cabin one last time with Nita. So touching. (5) Praying for you, Ryan and the family. See you in the morning : )
Tamar - Thank you!!
Natasha - Posting over the last week has given me a way to process, and I sure appreciate you all hanging around to read it!
Maria - Thank you for saving tomorrow's post for me! :)
Tracy - BLOGGER BACK UP!!!!
Shari - I am not good at giving myself grace. I figured if I made it through surgeries and vacations and grieving, I wasn't about to give up now!
Polly - Well it just so happened to be pi day you know, so we did have some pie-themed dessert!
Callie - LOL! Well definitely not amazing, but yes! Every single day!!
Karen - Thank you for spending time with me each day! Thank you for all these very kind words you shared. Yes! Ryan did get her dimples, although I heard his paternal grandfather had them too (I never met him) so maybe he has a combo!!
So sorry for your loss!
