i've been with people almost around the clock for almost 2 months.  not just ANY people - friends and family.  good friends and close family.  people who have nothing but my best good in mind.  we have traveled 1000s of miles to be with ever-more people.

and i, being the ungrateful slob that i am, am about to go nuts.  i'm used to great volumes of alone time, and deprivation thereof is starting to sink in.  in a world that rewards extroverts, i'm starting to think i must be really broken.  fundamentally flawed for resenting people who love us so...  aggressively.

case in point - i've been trying for 30 minutes to write a blog of some substance.  i've been interrupted 12 times by people who are taking such good care of me that i'm gonna crack.

and now i have to go.  we have dinner plans with more good friends.  the we'll come home to family, and i'll spend half the night in awkward conversation about plans i don't want to be a part of.  and we'll spend the weekend traveling to stay with more friends and see droves of people.  and they all just love us to death.

i feel like i should close with a smirk and some question alluding to "too much of a good thing."  i'll just sigh and go change.

Hey there friend!  (Boy that word might make you cringe right now.)  I just wanted you to know that I feel your frustration, exhaustion, and brokenness.  People are  wonderful creatures, but "too much of a good thing" sucks the life out of me, too.  It is amazing to me how the ones we love so much and who obviously love us in return even more can be the fly in the ointment at times.  Just know, that while others may condemn your feelings, I embrace them and say a prayer for your sanity and well being.  And, I wish you a nice weekend with a good book, a few hours of solace, and absolutely no friends in sight!  Love,  Wendy
