Hello all, hope you are all healthy and happy.
I am feeling quite well,
positive and pensive,
and overall,
pretty darn happy.
I think many people will remember 2017,
as the Spring and Summer it rained:-)
I have to say in spite of ups and downs,
it has been a terrific Summer.
Less sun than last year,
but,
that has also meant,
less bone melting heat.
I have been wearing my shorts,
a little less,
don't like rain on my legs,
also the AC at work is insane,
from sweat to chill.
My vacation was great,
did lots of exploring,
of my beautiful ugly,
read, rested.
Some pics from this Summer, vacation and otherwise, Montreal, Ottawa and Mom and I
Church has figured,
more and more prominently,
in my life,
it's Summer,
lots of people,
are away,
but September and it's,
new,
learning and sharing opportunities,
are right around the corner.
I look forward to a new deeper,
exploration of faith, I have done,
lots of reading this Summer,
C.S Lewis's Mere Christianity,
as well as My Bible in One Year,
morning ritual.
I figure by the time,
February rolls in,
I will have one year,
of regular church going,
one year of daily bible reading,
and, I should know if that is,
a road I need to keep walking down
I love my church,
I love the people,
and feel surrounded by love,
by those around me,
and from above,
the key to faith,
I think,
for me,
is to just have it.
To learn and question,
oh yes,
but mostly to stay open,
to accept the love and kindness,
and,
reciprocate,
to not doubt everything,
to not tear apart,
to not say but tomorrow it will rain,
when it is sunny,
I loathe when people do that,
and,
I will not succumb to it,
well, not too often, anyway,
I'm human, I get cranky
My title is the Summer it rained.
Rain is good, it brings growth,
it brings quiet,
it brings space to think,
it offers up time to be,
it can also be annoying,
walking in the wind and the rain,
arriving at your destination soaking wet.
But,
it's July not November,
I won't catch pneumonia,
I am blessed,
with love and friendship,
with strength and health.
September will bring,
theology and journaling,
a new project and a new job,
life moves on,
through sun and rain,
ain't it grand
Be well you all,
Later girls,
BB
