January 3


Round & Round, BLD 2010


I can completely understand my 5-year old grandson's out of control behavior when he has too much stimulation or change in routine; the New Year finds me feeling like I've spent the last 6 weeks in a blender trying to keep ahead of the blades - and the speed was set to puree.  Scrambled isn't even adequate. The look on the merry-go-round horse above pretty accurately reflects my state of I'm running as fast as I can - and I'm going in circles!


Another year looms lies ahead, I am trying to view it with gratitude and joy, but frankly I'm too tired to muster any emotion right now.  No resolutions, well, I do need to lose weight, seriously, but that isn't a resolution, it is a requirement. 


My soul is processing the entire season just past, holidays, a mission trip to Honduras, the death of a dear friend, and glorious time spent with my children and grandchildren.  It has been a melange of highs and lows, a mixture that has kicked up the speed on the blender to an unbearable pace – hence my fatigue. Creation is still my main calling, and I intend to continue on that path. For now I leave you with a photo of sunrise in the Smokies.


Peace,
Barbara
