During the summer, Adam always fixes the kids' breakfast. I found them eating yogurt, huddled on the couch, watching cartoons recently. It's a big couch. They don't care.

That need to be close to those we love is partially what prompted my resignation from blog and Facebook....on several levels...yes, it was only a week, but I needed to reset my clock.

Primarily, I needed to reset my focus to my family. That may seem absurd considering I am with them always and a devoted and dedicated wife and mother....but internet time (while I keep it limited enough) drains me. How do you deal with the disappointment people can cause you? How do you?

I just walk away. (obviously I cling to hope emoptionally for a while, but that gets the gavel at some point too....there...bang...gavel.....)

In using that first week of Summer Break to prioritize and chill and evaluate, I walked away with some refreshing insight and joy and hope.

We have a beautiful summer ahead of us and beautiful lives. "I had a false belief, I thought I came here to stay....we're all just visiting...all just breaking like waves..." That's Pearl Jam.

Peace and love folks.
