I've sat with you on the introvert bench often, feeling like a stranger in a strange land! I love your recognizing the rut (the only difference between a rut and a grave is that you can climb out of a rut, LOL).<br /><br />One could say that you've got the talent, or the power, but I think you've got the most Jeannehttp://dreamahappylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366582223606549416.post-51956194310869356702010-03-10T22:55:39.427-05:002010-03-10T22:55:39.427-05:00Oh BETH! you and your lovely metaphoric mind...!

She didn't understand until I explained the saying to her. It was as if a veil lifted from her eyes as I told her it was up to her to decide how to see the glass. It was a great moment. I suppose it would be a good idea to blog about it.

It sounds like you are most certainly "out of a rut." It takes time for things to show up in life, but when you've put in the time...it WILL happen.
