Oh the Weather Outside

YES! The morning after Thanksgiving Day, I jumped out of bed because... Flurries in "the Burgh"!!! Love it, Love it, Love it!

Jungian Personality Quiz

Thanks to Laura for her time waster.
I love a good psychological quiz. And an update on a personality test is always fun. I know Geek city! I am what I am...and I still am an ENFJ was there any doubt? I think not.

Also thanks to the Binks for a great in advent of Turkey day feast ala la Madeline's. I'll have to do a 6 mile walk today, but it was worth it.

Night!

Jeff is snoozing contentedly in his new deluxe sleeping bag - thank you Michael for the technical assistance! While I work on my Longaberger business and download photos, write letters and sip tea ahhhhh. Chole is sleeping at the "mama's side. What a peaceful night.

You'll have to view the photos I intended for tonight's blog here . Blogger is not exactly cooperating with them tonight.

Selections at the linked site are from the last month including the sets : My attempt at Art; SPX events; and the Rite of Acceptance.

Good Night, Sleep Tight and Pleasant Dreams....

Waiting endless mind numbing waiting

We spend a lot of time waiting. I've been having to set up medical tests...all is fine no worries. And since I haven't had a stint with the hospital branch of the medical profession for a while, I forget it's all hurry up and wait - to schedule the procedure, to get the clearance from your insurance, to get a person on the phone to answer your questions yada yada yada. They've even made rooms for what has a become a fixture of the process! Some even come with beds and televisions ,they know we're going to be waiting so long. All the waiting... and it made me think of other things I 'm waiting for. So I'm waiting to loose the next 10 lbs. and the next and the next, for the batteries for my camera to charge, for my feet to thaw, for my "nieces" to come home for Thanksgiving break or for Christmas or Spring or Summer break as the case my be, for the water to heat for the shower, for the traffic light to turn green, in line at the supermarket... endless waiting.
I got annoyed, but then I thought that how I spend my time waiting should be my focus more than than the having to wait. It just occurred to me I should PRAY. Not like I don't when it occurs to me from time to time. But instead of praying only from time to time if it hits me as I find myself waiting, I need to consciously practice ACTS - Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving and Supplication. As the season of advent approaches, literally the time of watching and waiting, I think that's how I'll try to prepare my heart, so I can be eager instead of annoyed with...Waiting.
