summer

I’ve struggled with the approaching summer. 

Last summer I was numb. So much of it is a blur. 

I’m going into this summer conflicted. I’ve thought about working. I got a summer job at Lowes. But I’m not sure that continuing to stay busy at the rate I’ve stayed busy is the answer. Maybe, I just need to be still. 

Life has gone on since Ron died. It has swooped me away with it like one of those raging rivers the settlers had to cross. It hasn’t been purposeless, but it really hasn’t been purposeful. Life has happened to me on so many levels. That needs to change. 

Things I’d like to work on:

• Pick up my Bible more than once a day. 
• See (close enough to touch!) my friends often. 
• Make some new friends along the way. 
• Spend some time developing a healthy routine that will help me move farther and higher for longer.

There are some busy things that should happen. I’ve got a dozen projects started around the house. That pesky ISTE cert has to be finished. I’ve got a business plan rolling around in my head that I’d like to get on paper. 

But most of those can wait while I commit to focusing on stillness, quietness, listening.
