On the bus

I seem to spend half my life these days on city transit, and today is no exception!

Given how much time I spend on the bus, I thought it was time to get an app for my iPhone that would let me blog easily while I'm traveling around the city.

This is it! The first post written on my phone! Hurrah for technology!

Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 68

Today's Daily 5:

1. A smooth job interview again this morning
2. watching the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy
3. taking a short nap this afternoon
4. scrambled eggs with ham and cheese for lunch (heavy on the ham and cheese, light on the egg - I like my eggs better when you can't taste them or experience their texture)
5. meeting a good friend and her daughter for dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory
6. Mizithra at Old Spaghetti Factory (and leftovers for lunch tomorrow!)
7. sales on some things I needed at the grocery store tonight
8. being at home, in my own bed
9. the continuation of semi-daily random facts by text message that make me laugh again at the interesting people I know and the places they love
10. curling up under thick blankets

Linking Up

It's been a while since I've done a post sending you elsewhere, but today I'm going to.  Check out some of these posts, and then come back and tell me what you think, or leave a link for something fabulous that you've read recently.

Boobies (Seriously, check out this guy's thoughts on a recent bracelet trend that's been popping up)

Where are the Miracles? at Mandy Thompson's blog.  I loved the questions Mandy asked.  Especially this week, when I've been asking quite a few questions myself.  In a week where I attended a funeral where we were invited to practice Jesus' command to "raise the dead", I'm wondering again about where the miracles are.

Living Proof Video - Good stuff from the One Campaign.

Okay, those are some of the ones I came across today.  What have you been reading and what would you recommend?

Slow Days

Life seems to move at a pace that is slow right now.

The waiting and limbo thing becomes intolerable at moments, and I am working to come up with ways to fill my days.

Today I'm waiting for a ride, so I'm puttering around my space in Grandma's basement.

I feel like words are coming slowly, too, as I wrestle my way through big issues.

Stuff that isn't formed for sharing, but more for pondering.

I make daily 5 lists throughout the day in my iphone, and add them to the blog at night.

I read blogs, and emails.  I write, though often not for public consumption.

And I move slowly, slowly, slowly forward.

Committed to that forward movement.

Maybe the slow days are okay right now, even when they're the brutally hard ones. 

Maybe I can live, and even thrive in this place.

Most days I'm not all that sure.  But today, on this particular slow day, I think it might be possible.
