Certain of what we don't see, for sure. Perspective can sometimes make all the difference in the world. Take good care, Suzanne.

Beautifully written...and completely true. Its about gratitude. As you read the Bible, there is proof over and over again of how much God loves our gratefulness. So often we are frustrated by the feeling that we haven't got it all. But God sees what He already has given. You're on a brilliant track! Brilliant!

What a beautiful post. I've read it through twice. It's so uplifting - thank you for sharing.

You're on your way!

Hey, 'tis I. Back into the of computers that are connected, sorry also to have been out of conversational contact, apart from few rapid blog posts and then off running to the next thing. Been on the road for a week driving, driving, driving, about 3k miles if I am correct. The road noise is still in my head from yesterday's night time arrival.

I do the same as you describe. It's so easy. The worry and the time flying and the sleepless nights. Try, as best you can, not to beat yourself up about it. Part of the process is learning how to do this, I am convinced. I am *so* proud of you, landing a freelance, assignment. Oh, I was excited for you that this had happened so nicely. Excited for you and also, it gave me hope that it happens to real people, some one similar to me, not just the other ones who are successful(!!).

Thank you for your invitation also towards Denver way. BA are busy threatening strikes so I am not sure how to structure my return yet (to Hampshire not Cornwall, but they are not far from each ohter by USA standards) so if I may play that one by ear, is the best answer I can give at this point - not very conclusive, I appreciate. Will keep you posted.

Suzanne, you are half way through ...ONLY half way through. An eternity and many miricles could happen between then and now. And maybem they have already happened, but you do not yet know it. My best suggestion is to seperate the things that keep you busy, from the things that are planting seeds of possible work, and the things that you really want to gain during this time. And if at any given mpoment you feel the laundry is the right thing to do, then do it being consciously guilt-free. Part of your time was to be and live in a different way, (I think?) and maybe how you do laundry is as much the lesson and new way you wanted to gain as any specific work or employment...
"Discuss" as they say on the essay questions!

I'm rooting for you. I think you are doing great things, and will continue to do so. Learning the positivity and how to bring it to what you are doing is part of the journey I suspect, it certainly is for me and its something I struggle with, sometimes daily. You are not alone, and it's not just misery that is keeping you company.

Enjoy that snow!

Suzanne, please change the "we" to "I" in this sentence, "So often when we are facing times of trial,.." and its paragraph. And then BELIEVE in all you can do!

Here you are...finally! ;)

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. These pictures take me to the source--I felt like I was right there in that window, too. (I suppose that's what blogging is all about, but I never get used to being whisked off to others' beautiful worlds.) Thank you!!! :)

Some may feel squeamish about eating it, but rabbit has a fan base that grows as cooks discover how easy they are to raise — and how good the meat tastes.

It is most beautiful, but I don't think I could survive a summer of snow, too.

I love these pictures. The make me yearn for open space, scratchy wool blankets, and a fireplace.

Suzanne:

I saw Elk only once, when we visited some dear friends in Conifer, Colorado. They'd placed a salt lick in thier woods to attract the elk, and we were blessed to witness them early one morning. What a wonder God's creation is!

This honestly could be my backyard on the shores of Lake Erie. No fir trees but trees, no birdfeeder but deer, a red fox and two wild turkeys. Are the animals a good thing? Hmm, not on a suburban cul de sac that's been a residential area for almost 50 years.

P.S. Our snow doesn't melt within days either, if only...*sigh*

That is enchanting!

2010-02-26T04:38:15.581-07:00

Oh, amazing. I love the snow, and the so American colours of the buildings you see from a window. The elk would have made my day uttterly. And I can see it made yours.

I am not sure how to beleive either, but that is what faith is...believing with no specific proof. I think, do whtever you need to, and no matter how daft (or smart) other people find it. Its belief that will keep you going, keep your spirits and heart up, keep you sane. Constant effort, but the alternative is to sink into a pit of no hope.
