The purpose of my web log is to be a connection to my children, extended family and friends. However, all are welcome! Verse of the year: Philippians 4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

| Seasons Of Life |
 I think I'm entering a different season in my life. Things are changing. I'm not young anymore. I have wrinkles, one or two strands of gray hair. I hurt every so often in my joints. I can't just drop 5 lbs just cuz I feel like it.
All this may be true, but I love the age I am. My kids are independent. I'm working on a business that promises to be successful once it gets off the ground. My faith is deepening. I have true friends. I know people who work in places pivotal to me doing my job well. I know things to aviod, and usually avoid them. And, I'm one more minute closer to being a grandma than I was when I started writing this post. (giggle!! none of my kids are married... I'm just kinda obsessed that way.) All that comes with age. The good things about getting older.
That's my season. But my boys are going through their own season. When boys go through that stage between childhood and manhood I have noticed a series of actions that I will describe in an analogy. They look at that building we call "family," they pick up a crowbar called "path to manhood" and begin prying away the boards of "themselves," forcing out the nails called "dependence" and "need" that have held this building together for so long. Sometimes they mistake the spiritual bond of "love" and "respect" with the physical nails of "dependence" and "need." That can be very hard on me as a mom if I don't keep my wits about me and stay objective.
I have decided that this year I need to pay attention to keeping my wits about me. Here's a partial to do list that I think will accomplish that:
- continue toward the goal of getting my house organized so I have a good base from which to function
- attend to what and when I eat for health reasons as well as weight reasons
- be more consistent with Bible reading
- keep up correspondence with Jacob no matter what (through this web log and through mail)
- don't become overcommitted
- attend to my own heart - for out of it flows the wellspring of life
