Courage & a break

I have a fantastic buffet of cheese items today. This includes brie in puffed pastry, squares of cojack, provolone & swiss, gouda fondue, dill havarti on toast points, port wine spread with crackers, and bacon & cheddar stuffed mushrooms.

Earlier this weekend I thought about something that I wanted to post here: Courage.

Something all of my friends have in common is that they have shown courage in some way or another. Sometimes it's not in obvious ways. Sometimes it's in big ways. When I continued to think about this, and the limited history I know about you, my online friends, I also find it's true here. You are all courageous people. Whether it's weathering the storm of depression and raising children, battling an illness, living with prejudice around you and standing up to it, facing demons from your past, supporting loved ones in times of strife, or leaving bad people behind you at home or in a job, you've all demonstrated courage in some way...sometimes daily. I just think you all should remind yourselves you are courageous and should be proud. *smooch*

Then, as the weekend progressed, life slapped me upside the head. I need a little time away from here to sort things out IRL. But I wanted to post that little bit about courage first just because I *heart* you guys and think courage is an important trait. Now, I figure it's a good note to go out on for awhile. See you around OT or blogland eventually.

*smooch*

Good luck with sorting things out! Use your own courage, as I know you certainly have it.

I'll miss you mostest! *smooch*

Wah! You're one of my very favoritest peeps! And you update regularly! *sigh* You will be horribly missed, however, I totally understand dealing with RL and needing to take a break. Best of luck dealing with your issues. May it work out for the best.

Oh and I can't wait to get the TS stuff! Thanks again!

Bravie said...

Huh? *sigh* I'm going to miss you. I hope you get things worked out. I wish whatever it is though that it didn't have to ake you from us. *hugs*

Debcapsfan said...

Go look at the picture of Jason and I on my blog first, then take a break! I too will miss your regular updates. And the cheese. Mmmm, cheese.

Zombs said...

Take care. I think every single one of us has taken a break so enjoy!

Maybe we will all be a little more regular now without our daily cheese! However I will be hungry!

Seana said...

Take the time you need. We'll be here when you get back.

*hugs*

Swami said...

You mean I have to buy my own cheese now!?! I don't think I can face that

I hope your RL whatever-it-is resolves in a way you can deal with.

Re courage: always remember what the Wizard of Oz told the Cowardly Lion. "You don't need to ask me for courage - you've had it all along!" Courage is like that. There when you need it.

Coco said...

Good luck and take care of yourself. I hope your break is as productive as mine was in terms of sorting out your life.

*big smooch*

Lasann said...

Kim - I'll miss you.

One way or another it'll straighten out. I'll be thinking of you!

Schnookie said...

Yep. There's a tremendous amount of courage around here. And, I know there's a lot of it in you. Sending you much love Kim.

*HUGS*

Bravie said...

Just remember that you have some of our email addresses and don't be afraid to use them if you need them. *hugs*

Jen said...

Aww. :( But I don't want you to take a break! /selfishness

We all need a break every once in awhile. Enjoy it. We'll miss you!
*big hugs*

Aislinn Sirk said...

I'm bloody terrified of going without cheese.

*breaks down wimpering in fear*

volsfan said...

Good luck and I hope you sort things out soon!

{{{HUGS}}} *smooch*

and hurry back!

lights said...

Hope things work out real soon Kim. Sending good thoughts and a side order of courage your way.

*hugs*

momma said...

I just want to echo Tkit and Carey...actually, both of Carey's posts. Email if you want/need to.

*smooch* and *hugs*

mm said...

{{hugs}} Kim. I'll miss you, and look forward to your return.

Puffy said...

Very well said. You write well. I'll miss your regular updates. Come back soon.

Breezy said...

*head tilt* geeezzz out sick one day and what do I miss? *smooch*

You have my email and #, use them if you need to. *smooch*

Weltek: I absolutely adore you. And there have been so many times when I have wanted to start a post out with "Blame Weltek for this. . . " You always inspire me.

Like many have said, you know where we are if you need us. We'll see you when you get back. Take care.

mtw said...

This really sucks for me! I have grown used to seeing your viewpoint of life, and reading your comments on mine. I'm going to miss you a lot!

Come back soon!

~Nutz said...

*sneaks in and takes all the leftover cheese*

Bravie said...

I suppose that I could just come in here and ocassionally poot. I mean, there seems to be no supervision here.
*poot*

Coco said...

I have been pretty gassy lately too.

*fart*

mm said...

Hey! No pooting while Kim is gone!

*shoos pooters from blog*

~Nutz said...

*sprays Oust*

Swami said...

*brings in a big bouquet of cheery flowers*
*evil-eyes the pooters*

Seana said...

*snort* You people can't be trusted in an unattended blog.


*gobbles up stuffed mushrooms*

Schnookie said...

*sniffs*

Smells like cheese poop in here.

Bravie said...

*POOOOOOOOOOOOOOT*

~Nutz said...

*sprays more Oust and some Febreeze to get the smell out of the fabrics*

Bravie said...

*points ass at Nutz and lets one rip*

Swami said...

*passes out gas masks*

mm said...

*glares at Carey*

*helps Nutz and Swami air the blog out*

Bravie said...

*morning poot*<--different from a regular poot just like morning breath is different from regular breath.

~Nutz said...

*lights a match near Carey's butt*

*poof*

kim (weltek) said...

*note to self: lock the door next time*

Thank you to everyone for your support & nice things you've said. They mean more than you can possibly imagine.

Now, can someone get Carey some Beano?

Bravie said...

*snort* I burnt the wall with that one, Nutz.
*ignores mean Kim who wants to take away my poots*

mm said...

I think Kim needs a blog moderator, at least while she is away. Carey is out of control.

Bravie said...

*runs through blog pooting out of control*

mm said...

*padlocks blog, right after Carey runs out*

Bravie said...

I didn't run out of the blog. I ran around in it. And I'm not leaving until Kim finds me a human poop story website.

Coco said...

Hmm.. I like a challenge.

Coco said...

OH, dear God, there is a website called poopreport.com.

mysticwolf said...

I understand needing to take a break to sort things out. I hope whatever it is that's bothering you works out well.

Don't stay away too long, though. Please? I'll really, really, miss you.

*smooch*

arkie said...

*hugs*

I hope everything sorts out in the best possible way for you.

Anonymous said...

I am not here to poot.

I am here to sing. Today we are singing REM.

Anonymous said...

I won't actually sing so that you can hear me. Don't worry.

momma said...

Apparently Carey misses Kim. Or needs a babysitter. One of the two.

*shrug*

mm said...

She misses Kim and wants her to babysit her.

*sigh*

Kim will have to come back soon, or we'll have to ban Carey from her blog.

Bravie said...

I miss Kim the mostest. *poot*

Swami said...

Why is it that every time I check this blog to see if Kim is here, Carey has just pooted?

Breezy said...

Cause Carey poots 24/7.

Bravie said...

*poot*

Breezy said...

see?

Glowie said...

Fuck. I'm so sorry I missed this, Kim. So sorry. *sigh*
