| | I am really thankful that my life is so dull and routine. One of the reasons I don't post so much on Xanga anymore is that not a whole lot happens to me. I do not face any physical challenges. My marriage and friendships are stable. I have been greatly blessed at my church. I have a steady job. Lack of excitement is really a good thing, but it is not much fun to read about. I am not so gifted a writer that I can make interesting posts out of so ordinary a life. My internal life is interesting -- to me anyway -- but it is chaotic and fragmented. A diary of thoughts is really hard to get right without it being self-absorbed[1]. Krissy once told me that I "added value" in my posts.[2] That was a huge complement from someone that I deeply admire and respect. I was so gratified that I've tried to live into that ethic.

[1] Note, I wrote "being" and not "seeming." This is the height of self-absorption.
[2] Over three years ago in a random IM exchange.
