A quiet mind

Sitting outside in the yard, soaking up the sun. Feeling ornery. I am mad because I feel like I am neglecting this blog and I hate that feeling. I feel completely deflated and wordless right now. Powerless. This blog is the place where I take my power back. But my mind is so tired, I can’t write. So…
