Today I spent most of the day in bed because I was recovering from sedation from a colonoscopy. But as I fasted all day yesterday to prep, all I could think about was what was for dinner tonight. 😁

I cannot believe this is my baby. He is so delightful I wish I had one more. But I have always wished for just one more. Never enough babies.

Packing up my NH home and finding little treasures like this scrap of paper.

“If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.” Rilke

Sometimes life doesn’t give you time or space to process your hard stuff. So, sometimes you just have to take it. Sometimes you have to step away from the routine and lean hard into Love and say a thousand times “Jesus I trust in You”—even if there is a part of you that doesn’t. The grace comes after.

The beauty of our Faith is that we can be at home anywhere and everywhere.
