I'm Here

Hey friends... I'm still here.  I haven't really gone anywhere, and things are relatively the same.  I just haven't had much to say.  Strange. I know.

Now that summer is pretty much over, I am looking back a bit, and forward some, but very little, to fall.  I can say one thing with certainty, our lives are changing, and I am glad.  Glad for change is something I never thought I would be able to say.  But I really am.

I spent the summer being purposeful .  I had decided on a few things, and really worked at them.

Slowing down.

Simplifying.

Being still.

Spending time with those I love deeply.

Taking "One Day At A Time", and no more.

Figuring out what I enjoy doing, and actually DOING IT!  :)

Times like these in my life, always draw me closer to God.  I wish I could say that He, is always my starting point, but by my own admission, as much as I know He should be, I don't always go to Him first.

I often try to "fix" things on my own first, and then, because those "fixes" are only temporary, I end up on my face.  Some people have scar marks from teenage acne.  I have scuff marks from landing on my face time and time again.  I'm good with it though.  :)

Fall is upon us here in Maine.  It's my favorite time of year.  It's a perfect time to let God do a good house cleaning.  A good time to let Him show you a new path.  A good time to know that He is always, always, always, your Heavenly Father.  He has a plan and purpose for your life, even if you are 46, married 27 years, 4 kids later.

I'm excited, joyful, and mostly, peaceful.

Hugs From My Heart
