2013/279 Good Times

Celebrating mom's birthday with my brother and (most) of his family. We are so blessed by her presence in our lives.

It was good times.

2013/278 Working Girl

She works hard for her money.

But at least she loves her job.

2013/277 I Wouldn't Have Changed a Thing

It was not a typical 4th of July, but that's okay.

I wouldn't have changed a thing.

2013/276 What I Needed

After the kind of day I had...

It was the kind of evening I needed

2013/275 The Beginning of a Very Good Day

The skies were grey when I walked out the door. I wasn’t planning on the sky showing off its beauty as I made the exchange to the 55 South.

It was the beginning of a very good day.

2013/274 The Halfway Point

Someone needs to convince me that it's really July 1st. What happened to the year? It's it really halfway over or has it just have begun? I still haven't even planned my vacation or wrote that book. 2013 hasn't been the horrible year I was afraid it would be. Did I hate it because it had those two little numbers that many take for bad luck (13) or because I honestly wasn't sure if I would survive the year?

I still don't know the future, but I know today. And today was good enough. I have my job, which I like, I'm blessed with insurance, a circle of family and friends that I love, a good church. I can still walk, see and take photos to my heart's content. I'm still working on creative emergence (come already!!!) My children and loved ones are healthy and happy.

Life is good. My cup may look half-full, but it's chock full of blessings.

2013/273 The Multitude of Angels

When I was young, I wasn't sure about the part of Heaven where we would sing songs and bow down before the throne. It seemed a bit monotonous to me. But now, now, the thought excites me. Yesterday at church, I felt the multitudes of Angels joining in. I could feel the sounds of many waters.

Sometimes I long for Home. But not yet, not yet.
