I Am Writing All The Same

This past year has been full of personal changes: moving out of mega house into smaller, more manageable one in Durham and both children in college. Joy is watching them thrive as young adults. Here is Emi with Senator Franken taken on her DC internship with his office last January. Matthew has signed on with the Army National Guard which gives him amazing training while he completes his Bio-Chem degree at NCSU. He wants good experience and training before leadership positions. Wisdom at 18! Who knew?!

My friends came with our pastor for a house blessing on Monday night. I love this passage we read in the guest room, "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:2

That moment when I'm watching a rerun of British mystery series Midsomer Murders and recognize the scene's landscape as the footbridge I walked across to work at Caversham, Berkshire in 1994. #UK #always #love

Thinking about these words today as I've witnessed and have been the recipient one too many times recently. #always #kindness thanks to Cory Booker who posted the photo recently.

30 days with less than one waking hour to myself per day. Very good for an extroverted introvert. No wonder I've made use of every single snow day moment alone.
