We got to go berry picking at a friend's house the other day. On my blog is a picture of her little boy (whom I also care for during the day) during our berry picking adventure.

Thank you Elizabeth. I really enjoy your place on the 'web too. Your forum sets such a gentle tone for family in general.      Morgan (my daugther) was a mess last night. She is supposed to be moving on Saturday and it's starting to creep up on her. She asked me last night (through tears), "Mom, what am I going to do when I need you?" I said, "call me, or send a text message" She replied, "no, what am I going to do when I need you to touch my face or give me a hug?"

   I lost it then.

Oney,
Did you write this? Living I ask because it's something I'd expect to see as an inspirational clipping in a magazine.

It's beautiful...

And your little boy's face is toooooo cute.

Hello Cay,
Yes, I wrote 'Living' last September at the Five In A Row Homeschool Moms retreat. Publisher Steve Lambert and author Jane Claire Lambert had a wonderful and inspirational program including the importance of journaling for our own well-being. They gifted the attendees with lovely journals and then gave us "assignments." One that Steve gave was to consider life if we only had 6 months to live.

I was a bit miffed at that point. He took such a light-hearted and fun conference and puncuated it with a serious assignment. I actually folded my arms across my chest, slammed my journal closed and shoved it to the center of the table while I pushed myself away from the table.      I was such a brat!      Then, in the matter of about 38 seconds the Holy Spirit prompted me with the words "live" and "alone" and I found myself writing like a mad woman.

'Living' is the result.

I am glad you are blessed by it. I love to write and wish the Holy Spirit would inspire me more often.
