Since It's Not ALL About Me. . .

Hello. . . My name is Amy and it's been 10 months and 14 days since my last post. . .

THERE! Now that we got that out of the way. . . do I need to go through the list of excuses reasons that have caused me to be negligent with my blogging?  Well, I don't really have any.  I guess I could say I was just being lazy, or maybe because I got in a rut and thought I didn't really have anything very interesting say.  Just so you know, I haven't completely left the face of the earth, there were a few people I would stroll in on unannounced and unnoticed and read a little, just to keep up with mind you.  However, the unnoticed part would be my own fault for not announcing myself or leaving a comment or anything.  I think this is where I am supposed to say that I will do better. . . I will make a New Year's resolution to be a better blogger, I will make an appointment with my computer and blogging buddies daily and devote at least X amount of time to writing typing my thoughts out on this big screen in front of me and then hit that nice orange publish button so the rest of the world can know what is going through my head.  Hmmm. . .I don't think that is gonna happen, ya know the "I'm gonna do better part".  I'm not making any promises like that again.  I think I have done that so many times, then I fall off the wagon, neglect my blogging duties, and get so involved in my own life that I don't even check in this blogging world.  I'm not saying life is all about me, but really?  I think there are a couple of people that might tell you that it's always sometimes it IS all about me.  I have been told I'm a brat like that.
If I were to be completely honest (which I always am!) I would have to say that I do kinda like it when it is about me, but not always!  It does get old, especially when there really isn't anything intersting to discuss.  I mean really?  If it were ALL about me, we'd have to be talking about how I work 12 hour night shifts at a hospital.  Where I love my job and feel like it is more of a ministry than a job.  Where I love to take care of people.  And how sometimes, I don't even get grossed out by many of the things that travel home with me on my uniforms (that go directly into the wash on those particular days!).  And how most nights, I don't mind that demented old folks wake up in the middle of the night and will think they are at home, and will yell at me and hit me when I try to remind them they are at the hospital.  If it were ALL about me, we'd have to talk about how on my days off I am usually loading pictures of church events, editing/uploading audio files of various ministers preaching, and keeping up to date documents on a website that I manage.  And how after editing the audio files, I could recite every sermon I have heard in the past year!!!  That's a lot of Jesus, right there! If it were ALL about me, we would have to talk about all the drama that is surrounding me right now.  Even though it is not MY drama (does that still make it about me?) it is close enough to me that it feels like it overflows into my space an awful lot.
But really. . . . I don't want to talk about me!  I just want you to know that I will do my best to be back, and pay attention, read, post, and comment.

But since it's NOT all about me. . . I'm not making any promises!

I did miss you all and your funny stories (don't tell anyone though, I wouldn't want anyone to think it's ALL about them)!
