I thought this week would never end. It's been an incredibly slow week and I am thankful it's Friday. This afternoon my cousin, Anna , flies in from Vancouver and so I'm pretty excited about her arrival. Lately I've been craving the familiarity of family, expecially with Anna and her older sister Gail. Seeing that things within my immediate family seem so dysfunctional lately and accepting the reality of their own limitations, my relationship with Anna and Gail has been the only constant and calming force in my life as of late. I hate it that they live so far away.
This weekend and part of next week will be fairly busy and so my presence online may be somewhat scarce. Well, time for me to face the heat and humidity outside. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
About Me
- Joy
- I am a woman with a high-spirited soul. I love God with all my heart, mind and soul. I love the pitter patter of rain and the city lights, the quaintness of old brick roads and buildings, and the fresh scent of a hiking trail and the silence of a book shelf. I have an eclectic taste in music ranging from the oddity of Sufjan Stevens to the sassiness of Taylor Swift. I know the difference between saffron and sage, among other things, and I almost know what tumeric is. I believe in the contagiousness of joy and the basic sweetness of life. Nice things often happen to me - answered prayers, flowers from friends, unexpected phone calls from far away friends, the discovery of delectable desert shops, sweet cards and packages in the mail, and laughter till your tummy hurts. Some things I have but don't use as much as I maybe should are markers and crayons, a passport, a somewhat "perfect pitch", a slip-'n-slide, a camera and common sense. I have a big God who loves me, a beagle/french bull dog mix named Georgie who drives me up the wall yet whom I adore at the same time, and three things I prize: warmth, grace and brains.
