When there's nothing you want to say . . .
So, my sister said this afternoon, "You haven't blogged in dayyyyyys!!!" To which I said, "I don't have anything to say." To which she said, "You always have something to say!" To which I said, "I don't have anything to say that I would want to put on paper or out there in cyberspace." We agreed that it's a wierd world where we are sometimes just blank pages - we have ink, we have paper, but putting the ink on the paper is tough.Truth of the matter is - I probably have some things to say, but they fall into one of several categories. They are either (1) things that everyone else is already saying, and doing a better job of it than I would, thank you, (2) things that probably shouldn't be said outloud, on account of the pain others might experience as a result, (3) things that are simmering and will be better stated when the soup is poured, or (4) mindless.
So, when in doubt, send an e-mail. One of my parishoners sent this little ditty, via e-mail. It made me smile. Maybe it will make you smile as well.
