Those Promises

The enormity of this thing we’re doing comes crashing in on waves. The truck pulled in about 15 minutes ago to start with the loading and I almost got sick to my stomach. The truck driver wanted to see everything that needs to be loaded including the outdoor furniture so we headed to the back deck.

  1. A message of wisdom and faith that we all need to be reminded of daily and on many days that reminder supports us only second by second.
    Thanks for your openness and mindfulness… living in the present with hope is the only way to be real in this life.

But don’t have any fears yourself. This is a great community of people who love their provincial lifestyle and take care of each other in so many ways. They feed each other, literally and figuratively. I hope his will be a peaceful and healing place for you and S. It will be an adjustment…..but it will be good.
