Going to Ground

The wedding is less than a month away. I have been given the largest project of my career--one that I have wanted for 3 years--and it has to be completed by the end of June. I have another huge project in the works. As the school year winds to a close, my children need some additional parental attention to their homework (spring fever has bitten the Doxy household in a bad way...). Jasper needs more exercise.

All of that to say...I'm going to focus on what needs attention the most at the moment. I won't be blogging--but that's not the hard part. (It's not as if I blog all that often anyway...) The big challenge for me now is to try to stay off the Net so that I can get the humongous project in good shape and not have to take my computer on my honeymoon. Well, that...and get married and be a good mom to all three of my children and a good partner for Dear Friend.

It won't be easy to quit for a spell---I count on many of you to keep me informed about the things that matter most to me. Faith, politics (ecclesial and otherwise), and your own madcap adventures. I pray daily for many of you, as I know that some of you do for me. I'll keep praying--and I'll be bold enough to ask for yours. It's going to be a bumpy, wonderful ride!

Love you Doxy, blog or no blog, comment or no comments... You are not easily rid of most of us, who will be walking, loving, praying right along with you these days.

BTW, I just wish that "walking" could include some real walking for the beautiful Jasper!!

Take time to walk Jasper even if it's a very brief walk. It will benefit both of you. Meanwhile the rest of us will maintain the prayer watch.

Grandmère Mimi said...

Whatever it takes, Doxy. Priorities, priorities. I'll pray that you focus where you need to now.

Brian R said...

You will be in my prayers. I am currently finding it hard to keep up with blogs and I am retired????

Hey... it's all good.

You do have a lot on your plate, and it has to be done well.

Just sign off with all our love, get done what needs to be done, and return with extremely funny and great stories to tell!

Best to you... sending lots of love and support to you, Doxy!

Josh Indiana said...

Yeah, well, you and your resolutions… I'll believe it when I see it.

"I will NEVER get married again!"

Catch ya later, missy. DF's already arranged with Jasper to disable your laptop the night before the wedding, so you won't have that out. Get busy.

Wormwood's Doxy said...

I love you all, and I *am* being really good (for me) and getting a lot done. Knowing you are praying for me really helps a lot.

"I will NEVER get married again!"Well, here's one statement that I can make with almost 100% certainty...

I will never, ever, EVER live that down. ;-)

I read this several days ago, and I've thought of you often since. I'm glad you're doing what you need to do.

Lindy said...

I'm glad you have so many great things going on. Thinking of you and giving thanks for your great work, the love in your life, and your presence on the internets.

Fergie said...

May your list decrease and your life be peaceful.

You may not be here to collect it, but I have awarded you the Bella as a great resource for another Christian.

Lindy said...

Hi Dox, Just clicking over to wish you well on everything.

Wormwood's Doxy said...

Fergie--thank you! And welcome. :-)

Lindy--I appreciate your thoughts and good wishes. I'm hanging in there...barely. ;-)

Cheers,
Doxy

Diane said...

praying for you, for self-control, that you are blessed in all your work, that you find balance....

Mary Clara said...

Doxy, dear, I hear there are extra worries around you just now. Just stopped by to say I am keeping up the prayers as your wedding day approaches. You are a treasure. May you and DF flourish, and may all be well with those you love.

Lindy and Rowan said...

Hi Doxy, I know the big day is coming up. Just clicking over to say that I rejoice in all the good in your life and pray for your continued joy!

Song in my Heart said...

As I understand from posts others have made, today is the Big Day.

Many happy congratulations!

It is the big day and all happiness to you both!
