Love's The Only House: November 2008

Love's The Only House

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.

Thomas Launches

Thomas will be going to Navy Boot Camp January 17th.

One of my all-time favorite poems is George Gray by Edgar Lee Masters

George Gray

I have studied many times

The marble which was chiseled for me--

A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.

In truth it pictures not my destination

But my life.

For love was offered me

And I shrank from its disillusionment;

Sorrow knocked at my door,

But I was afraid;

Ambition called to me,

But I dreaded the chances.

Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.

And now I know that we must lift the sail

And catch the winds of destiny

Wherever they drive the boat.

To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,

But life without meaning is the torture.

Of restlessness and vague desire--

It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.

Well, that describes none of my kids.

I'm so proud of each of them, stepping out of their comfort zones and taking life on - head on.

I love you boys.

Go Thomas!!!

So... I dyed my hair...

I let it process a little too long in the back and it burned my hair... eek!! So I got brave and cut it all (myself). All this happening while I was hurrying to finish because I had company coming over.

It's a little blonder than I was expecting, but oh well. It's just hair, right? It'll grow back gray again and I'll ruin it a different way by being braver than I should be then too.

Funny thing about dying your hair blond. When you start messing things up, like at work, or you get clumsy or something; even if you made those same mistakes before when you were a brunette, people just look at you and smile... like they're saying "That's ok. She's just a blond." I just smile and move on. I kinda like low expectations sometimes.

And here's Rowdy waiting for his babysitter to come.

Her name is Claire and she babysits Rowdy for me. She is the girlfriend of a guy who works with me. He is on loan to us from London for 3 months. Rowdy has been coming home with a European accent lately though.... We'll have to get him to un-learn that when they leave.
