So here is a little note to let you know I am still around. It has been a mild and cozy winter. The new cat in the family seriously adds to the cozy factor as only a snuggly, soft, purr happy kitty can. Been cross country skiing a lot more this year and enjoying so much time at home, organizing and trying to stream line the family life, if you will 🙂
Life is Push-y
IT IS DECEMBER! Oh my, I just keep looking back to post on here and that wasn’t my plan. I usually write to work through my present ‘mind stuff’ but to be straight with you… a touch of anxiety mixed with laziness has given me a bad case of the ‘I don’t cares or think I shouldn’t care… or should I care…’ about this blog.

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
~Psalm 62:5 (ESV)~
Quiet is now found in my days. Silence, a much desired prize only so shortly ago when my crew of kids were younger, is something I have had to go through mixed feelings about once found.
He will sing and be joyful about us!
The Lord your God is with you;
the mighty One will save you.
He will rejoice over you.
You will rest in his love;
he will sing and be joyful about you.
~Zephaniah 3:17

Who knew being excited and happy could be so exhausting?! After living here for a little over three months I realise we have a lot more adjusting to go through and although we are so thrilled to have moved we are also strained by it. Continue reading →
