I feel like I'm being very self-absorbed lately. I know I'm not reaching out to others as much. It's not because I don't care, some days it's a matter of energy. If you send me email, I swear that I read it (probably that day) even if I don't respond. I feel like I'm not being a good friend.
I had one friend who was going through something and didn't say anything because they didn't want to add to my burden. No one is doing that. I'm still the same person (albeit a bit more tired) and I still care about what is going on in your lives--good or bad. I hope I'm not so self-absorbed that I can't celebrate the good times and listen or help during the bad times.
I know I'm not the poster child for being a great friend right now. I just want everyone to know that I do care and I'm doing my best to balance everything. Hang in there with me.

Just Travelling Down Abby's Road
My final journey in this life is just beginning. I've shared a previous journey a couple of years ago and found blogging to be therapeutic and a way to share with others. Some may find this macabre and others may find it helpful in their own dealings. We are all on a final journey to somewhere.

Dear Jane,
It seems to me that your "self-absorbed"-edness does not even come remotely close to what most of us are every minute of every day! This is a time when you need to be able to take a look inside and stay there as long as you like with no apologies. I know I speak for many when I say that we are your friends and though it may feel awkward when people try to spare you their own trials, the motive for that is love. I mean, how many people don't even pray because they don't want to bother God with "little things", assuming He has His hands full enough? You, Jane, are an absolutely AMAZING person and admired by more people than I'm sure you can imagine!
