Pondering...

"I redeem time from apathy and neglect and inattentiveness when I swell with thanks and weigh the moment down." --Anne Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts, 72

I'm still thinking about what all I want to write about on this blog. But I think this quote captures at least something of the why. Part of the reason I write is to practice thankfulness. When I write I feel like I'm weighing down moments with words so that I can keep them, or at least keep them in the way that matters: to treasure them up and ponder them in my heart. When I write about things they don't get away from me, I make them a part of me and, whether I mean to or not, acknowledge their goodness, their transforming power over me. Restful Sundays and all-nighters both.

A Bubble Tree is still a really good blog name...

The purpose of this post is to express my intention of maybe perhaps starting to possibly consider blogging again.

I'm easing into this.
