and our cup overflows...

"catch!"summer sunset from my porch
cleaning out, moving onthe marsh
"are you gonna stop me?"a saturday morning
Amidst the storm of frustration, tears, stress and emotion swirling through this month of happenings, we have seen moments of calm. Peace. Beauty. Quiet. Laughter. Fun. Learning. Inspiration. Encouragement. I could go on and on but...oh so much more to be done before my head reaches the pillow. We have one more day of our Classical Conversations practicum (which has been incredible!) then we head to Arizona for six days packed with family gatherings, a wedding and hopefully a step or two out onto the sky walk. We will be back just in time to greet our packers and watch them dismantle the home we spent six years creating. I am promising to look forward over these remaining days of chaos. I will remind myself that it isn't the pots full of flowers or the pictures just-so on the walls that make my home -it is those hands, grasped around a table, any table. They are home to me and we're in this together. So let the adventure continue...
