Last night, at a Sunday working meeting to prepare for next weekend’s group therapy conference, somebody told me they thought I’d been M.I.A. for the last few days. I had many thoughts about that, including:
- “Missing In Action”? I’ve been right here all along!
- Does that mean I’ve been Missing Important Action?
- Has my responsiveness and accessibility changed since my son came home for the summer?
- People notice when I’m missing!
- I’m missing my very close friend from the organization, who passed away this time last year.
- I don’t like to miss anything.
Last night, I dreamed about being lost with my sister and my son, leaving them to find help, and then missing my phone and ways to get back to them. I was searching desperately for everything that was missing, over and over again, and then told somebody in my dream, “I can never get a break!”
I woke up deciding to write about M.I.A. Then I noticed that, as usual, the action in some of my latest photos fit the action of my daily topic. I don’t want you to be missing any of those pictures, so here they are:
I don’t want to be missing the action in your comments, so please leave one below.
Gratitude is never M.I.A. here, so thanks to all who helped me create today’s post and — of course! — to YOU.
The action is on its way, Ann!
I always appreciate your actions, Mark!
All humans in your pictures are M.I.A.
You don’t miss much, Derrick.
🙂
Nice name MIA!
MIA is the name of the wonderful woman who cuts my hair (see yesterday’s blog post). Thanks for another nice comment, Peter.
Some people I work with have asked that others avoid the “alphabet soup” of acronyms. It’s a perfectly reasonable request and one I try to keep to because I wouldn’t want to say “M.I.A.” and have someone think I meant “Molluscs In Appetizers” unless that’s what I were offering.
You offer a lot, Chris. Thanks for not being Missing In Action and for being so Marvelously Inspiring Always.

MIA, huh? You should have said, “Really? What’s up with that?”

Mama MIA! LOL! ♡〜٩( ╹▿╹ )۶〜♡
You’ve been M.I.A, New Bloggy Cat,, and I am SO glad to see you here!
It’s good to be back. Sometimes life just takes over…too many things to do and too little time to read. (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`) ♡
I understand! Thanks for taking the time to be here when you can!
Big hugs to you! c⌒っ╹v╹ )っ
I’ve been a little M.I.A this week, but that’s another story! I read the post you linked to about the loss of your friend last year. That touched me, Ann. And I can’t imagine you being M.I.A. in your professional setting, no matter what. I’m sure you’re VERY present. Maybe you need to start wearing brighter clothing. 🙂 LOL!
Even when you’re not here, Debra, you’re here in my thoughts. Maybe we are never as “missing in action” as we fear. Thanks for being so present, my friend.
