Sunday's Balances...

Outdoor service at church today. Perfect weather for it ... mid 60s at the start and in the shade, low 70s and sunny by the end of worship, and all of us in folding chairs sitting shoulder to shoulder (instead of spread out in the sanctuary designed for 500). I loved the birdsong and bird flight, I loved the people song, the range of ages, the neighbors driving by, the sermon message from the book of Mark. A worship of renewal!* * *

Literally.

I have a kitchen!!!I bought healthy food to supplement the abundance of healthy things growing in my yard. I've prepared a few things, so I can be ready for the work week.
I am making my body do the right things, even though I have zero motivation today.
I'm just on overwhelm for the things that have happened this year and quite recently. I need a few days to just stare out the window, wander through the garden, ride the bike, clear my mind, and listen for the Spirit.

Me and hubby got to spend time in garden today. A photo of me that I think is whimsical is posted herewith (can you tell I have law firm experience?).

Finished our small claims issue today. After much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, we managed to negotiate a settlement with the remodeling company. <sigh> Next thing to work on: finances with hubby, so we can prepare for dissolution of marriage.
Yep, I love him very much, he loves me very much, and love is...
