dishwashed
mistaken * out of place * ill at ease * misappropriated * dissatisfied * unsure * restless * listless * aimless * unkempt * confused * out of joint * relapsed * malnourished * lost * exhausted
That's a list I wrote a few days ago to try to put words to what I was experiencing. A combination of life circumstances, including relentless sickness in my family, had me down for sure. But do you ever feel prayed for? A day after that list was written, I looked up from the dishwater that I was swirling and felt an unaccountable peace come over me. Something/someone lifted my chin. The life circumstances haven't changed that much, but treading water is a bit easier now.

Yes! That is a good feeling, the connectedness of it all. Also, it reminds you that when you get a twang for another, to act on it, for it matters.
We, too, have been ravaged by sickness this winter, one after another. . .and I'm starting to get irritable. I feel so hemmed in and barely able to keep up with the essentials of living. I'm longing to stretch my legs. I'm longing for foliage and fresh air. And now, ironically, I'm tired from longing. So it goes.
Sister! You've spoken my mind!
I need one of them chin lifts myself....a dose of tangible mercy. Glad to hear you got a draught.
