early morning trip to the city in the rain, but the rain cleared up when we got there

recently, a wonderful lady i know sent me an email saying that i had been so quiet lately, and it makes her worry when i'm quiet.



she made me feel cared about, but she doesn't need to worry.



i know i've been quiet, but not because i feel quiet. i've actually been feeling kind of loud.



it's just that i don't seem to have time to extend my loudness outside of myself.



it seems, these days, that every second of every day is spoken for. not necessarily in a bad way, although i do wish the parts that were most important to me did not have to be shoved into the periphery. but still.



the parts that have kept me most busy, and most outwardly quiet, are also the parts that are making me feel almost whole again. not quite fully whole. but closer than i've felt in a long, long time.



and soon enough, there will be time for me to be out loud again, too.

Hooray for loud. And feeling whole. And sunshine.

I loved traveling into the city with you and how the pictures followed the mood of the story. You're so creative!! Great post!

My hope was that you were busy with all the things that make you happy. So I'm glad to hear that that is at least partially true.

I've been searching for a good 'living out lous' sort of quote to add here, but haven't found one yet and my battery is dying...

Hugs to you my friend. Keep on living out loud.

I think we all get days like this, the cityscapes are lovely!

Yay for feeling whole! Or at least more whole, whether you're quiet or loud.

P.S. I tagged you in a blog post today. :)

The last shot - I would recognize it anywhere. It's my home! Well, not the tall buildings per se but you know what I mean. :)

However, I also relate to the post because these days I've been so busy that it's been hard to find time to blog and it's a good and bad thing really. It's the kind of busy that I like. And your description summed it up best: "the parts that have kept me most busy, and most outwardly quiet, are also the parts that are making me feel almost whole again. not quite fully whole. but closer than i've felt in a long, long time."

Great post.
