Down in the Dumps

Wow - this has been a very hard year for me. My horoscope says I have some decisions to make in February & I agree. I am not sure what the future holds now. I am sad because I know there will be changes both in & out of my control. I hate this economy for making me feel cornered. I do not want that anymore. I can give up all of my material stuff. I have done it before. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I try to make a new plan or plans. Or try to stick it out...as I am getting stuck.

Sick kid= time at home

It has been along time since I have been able to post. Truthfully, since I have wanted to post. I am home with 1 sick kid. That has given me some time. Time to be with him. Time to cherish & to slow down. Time to heal. Luckily, time before we have Thanksgiving time. I am really cherishing that too. It feels good to be home with no agenda & no plans. I am resisting planning what to plan(: I am going to make him some soup with lots of love & lots of time.

Yeah, yeah, I know...or do I know?

I cannot get this into this habit of posting. It will be one of my summer goals. I am overwhelmed & consumed right now with many thoughts that are all about work. It is stressful. Sometimes when I run early on Sunday mornings, I hear a radio show about faith.

This time it said life is all about the test we take at the end BUT we do not know what it will be about. Yet we are always prepping for this test. That is how I feel right now. I have no idea what the outcomes will be & I am swimming in the middle with no end in sight.

I want to do only the right thing and never the wrong thing. Yet somehow I do not know if I am in the right place doing the right thing. So work is actual work. I have to make sure it keeps going at a good pace in the right direction but have no end in sight.

Serenity on Vaca

We just had a great vacation. I fell in love with Southern Utah. It was such a pretty place especially when it reflected the sunset & sunrise.

I love Easy Living

I have fallen in love with the British magazine Easy Living. I also love Johnnie Boden. I do not know where these UK obsessions come from. They aren't too British but they are way cool.
