I photographed her Saturday morning at a bamboo nursery called Boo For You.
As much time as I spend doing Centering Prayer, attending church, and ministering to others you would think that I would have shown more fortitude than I have in facing the effects of this current economic shift. It has had a direct impact on our entire family and we assume there are more difficulties to come before everything comes to light. To be honest, I've often felt like running and in my mind, I often do.
Worse still, I find that even when I'm resting I'm wary.
But I also keep turning my focus to opening my heart so God can come in to do the work that needs be done. When I remember this I feel better, do the things that really matter. I take more time to think of others, be pleasant, allow the thoughtlessness of others to become lessons in looking at things through someone else's eyes. There's so much more to living than what's happening to me. I pray you're all finding at least a little unexpected peace, learning to let go just a little more each day. As corny as this sounds, we still have each other.

Lovely sentiment. There is a reason for the season, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
One of the thoughts that helps me these days is that we're all in the same boat. So I figure, if you can take it, I can take it. and at least we can talk and even laugh (sometimes) about it.
This is a great post! Thanks
