Today feels like one of those lazy days where I could wrap up in a blanket and read, watch TV or sleep. But, somehow the guilt of being lazy always hangs over a person's head.
Our children have left for Florida for a Campus Life Spring Break Trip, which is good, but I'll be glad when it is done and they are back in Indiana. It is amazing how you can want your children to experience all the good things the world has to offer, yet have such an out-of-control feeling as they walk out the door. It will be okay though. Learning to let go is a part of life and moving on to that next stage can be an adventure, I'm sure. It should be an interesting year...and I hope to treat it like a new adventure. That should be what life is like - looking at everything in its full potential. I hope I can begin to be more like that.
Went back to work and not too much had changed. It was amazing how it kind of wore me out though. I hadn't been in the upright, vertical position for that long of a stretch for a week, and it was pretty tiring - or else I'm just really out of shape - probably a little of both.
Tonight we are going out for supper with our church council. It will be nice to go out with some people, that is one thing I kind of miss from back home. Friendship can seem like such a hard thing. It is much easier to have acquaintences than friends, but friends are definitely better.
I think it is time to make some more coffee. Maybe that will put me in adventure mode!!
Christ's peace & and Radical Hope -
JAH
