I’ve posted this photo before (taken at Clearwater Beach, FL)…
I haven’t posted in one month exactly… and I’ve missed it! The past month has been a little hectic. Some of you are probably saying to yourselves, “and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!”
But our busy-ness had nothing to do with the holidays. It was simply demands of life. I’m getting too philosophical now…
Our moving has been postponed until early next year, for which I am so relieved. In the past we’ve had to pack and move during the holidays and I really didn’t want to do that again.
Now I can work on making some Christmas gifts instead of filling the trunk again with more empty boxes for packing.
The reason I entitled this post, “Up in the air…”, is because that’s how I have been feeling lately. For instance…
When your children are married, and they live far, the holidays are not as easy as before. Who’s going where, when, and for how long? Can we all get together at one time or do we have to break it down so we can visit everyone?
Also, moving has so many questions that need to be decided… Where shall we move to? What neighborhood? House or condo? Buy or rent? Old house or new? Big or small? Fixer- upper or nice and clean? My husband and I finally came to seriously consider selling most everything we own and just living in a small (very small) drivable RV. It certainly sounds like a simple life. (We are still considering it!)
So… I don’t know for sure where we’ll be for Thanksgiving, where or when exactly we are moving, whether we are buying or renting… I seriously think God has a sense of humor and just when we begin to think we’re too old for this… here we go again. Maybe it keeps us young??
In any case, it’s good to be back and I’ve missed you!
May you all have a terrific weekend!!

I feel for you… being in limbo! I’m glad that you are open to being adventurous, and I am so glad you don’t have to move during holidays. We did, once, years ago, and I got quite sick right after… My sweet husband unpacked the whole truck himself. I had done all the packing and my body had packed it in…

Thanks, Wendy! And yes, I like adventures… I also like to look at things in a positive light rather than negative… attitude can make a big difference in almost every circumstance! I think I learned that the hard way 🙂
Yes, God does have a sense of humor–He and I laugh a LOT during the day! Praying that you will have a clear vision of what you will do–whatever it is, I’m confident that you will be filled with JOY. Lifting you “up in the air” with prayer!! God bless you–love, sis Caddo
Thanks so much! I do appreciate it 🙂
I wish we weren’t so far away! I miss you, and I am thankful that the Lord saw fit to bless me with such amazing parents. You are my best friend, and I have learned more from you than you will ever know. I’m thankful for you on this Thanksgiving–and every day! 🙂
Your words mean so very much to me. You are the best of the best of daughters and I thank God for you everyday!! Thank you for making me feel wanted, and needed, and loved. What more could a parent ask for?!
You are my sunshine! 🙂 I love you!!!
