· I know I’m not the most regular person posting here. It’s something I need to work on. Especially since I’ve been feeling down lately and think it will help to focus on all of life instead of the things that are distracting me too much. When we lose sight of the beauty and majesty of the simple things that surround us, I think we’re starting to go to a dangerous place.
· Part of my thinking on the above was fostered by a seminar I attended this weekend on prayer. The leader had a simple method to allow us to focus and invest our time. Why is it that the solutions to those sots of things are so simple. Index cards and time.
· I love meetings that start after hours. (he says sarcastically) Especially when I forget about them. We’d planned to go out to dinner tonight and instead will be eating Pastasanga at home because I have something going on at 5. Bother.
· I love living where we do. Yesterday as I backed out of the garage, a small few snow flakes drifted by. A cold front was approaching so it wasn’t a surprise. What was wonderful was coming over the hill on the way to church and seeing the top of the end of SouthMountain through a haze of falling snow. There’s a joy in that view…and hope that maybe we’ll finally get more than an inch or two. We missed out again yesterday.
· I leave you with a couple of pictures from our trip to the shore last weekend. We drove down Friday afternnon and came home Saturday evening. We squeezed in walks on the boardwalk, shopping in downtown, walking the beach, taking pictures of the sunrise and visiting our inlaws. The salt air was enough to revitalize, but not enough to sate. How I’d love to go back. Soon.
