Hello again!I have rejoined the modern era!
With cable, phone and most importantly,
Internet
up and running again,
I can let out a contented sigh.
I am happy to report that my family and I made it to our new home and most of our boxes have been unpacked. Only a few things were broken and everyone is settling in nicely.
I look around at this place that is now my home and I smile.
With my children's art work hung, my teacher's licence above my desk and Mary smiling benevolently from peaceful domestic scenes, I feel at home and comfortable.
Fuzzy blankets and candles... bookshelves full of stories...closets full of clothes...
It is strange how our "objects" help us feel secure.
As a creature of habit, I crave familiarity.
Because this is true,
I am surprised that being somewhere new actually makes me feel calm and hopeful.
Looking at the brightly painted walls...
...my gardens anticipating spring...
...rooms waiting for family memories,
I feel like the "do over" I've been given is a positive thing.
I can honestly believe that the adventure in store for me has an excellent chance of being delightful!
Tonight, I wish for you the hopefulness that I feel.
I pray that we will all find a level path as we walk the road before us...
That when we face bumps along the way,
we will always find a loving hand to hold.
May your life be blessed,
Now, Always and Forever!
