Shifting

Some of you know that for several years we have been talking about selling our home and downsizing. It seems every time we get close something happens to change our mind. Well, apparently, this time it is for real.

We love having guests stay in our home; we love having people in for dinner and a good time of singing; and we love family get togethers.

In our new home, our guests may have a smaller room, a 'quaint' bathroom and overall live a little closer while they are with us, but we will have just as much fun being together. I love a house full of laughter and love. That will not change - just as much laughter and love but scrunched a bit into a smaller space.

The funny thing is, this time next month I may be posting how our house won't sell and we are ready to be done with all the showing - or not showing - as the case may be.

Who knows what this next season may bring? Whatever it is, I am certain the Lord has already made provision and paved the way. He's like that you know. Our steps are ordered of the Lord and it is our joy to follow Him.

Whatever season you are in at the moment, I pray it is full of joy!

Lovin' the season...

I have a new 'do.' Not just a normal do, but a drastic OMG you are bald, one. I wore my hair similar to this years ago and it looked pretty good. So, I was thinking how cute and pixie I looked with it all cut off. My little thin face was all glowy and my eyes were sparkly, so why not do that again?

OMG!!! I am all face!!  My not so sparkly eyes are hard to find with all the droopy around the edges and the red hair is mostly grey/white. I have had mixed reviews on it. Royce says he likes it, but occasionally when I enter the room unexpectedly he starts to laugh. Is that a good sign? Probably not. Actually, he thought I had it colored until I explained that when I cut the red off all the underneath was white. All he said was oh...

Not sure why I'm telling y'all this; it has no significance in the overall scheme of things, except to remind me that those who love me also love my big face. They accept me and though they may call me a man right to my face,  (you know who you are), they really do have my back. Ok, I admit, I said that to you first.

The upside is, I can dry and style it in about ten minutes flat. I don't even need a brush really - just a tousle will do. And hair products will most likely last me years since I can only use a teeny tiny dab each time.

My new hair freedom is just one more thing I am excited about in my life these days. It is wonderful to have time to do the things you dream about when you are young. And yes, it is good that I have more free time because things tend to take longer than before.

So, take my advice, love your life and enjoy the people who love you because one day you may have a new do that makes you look like a man and you will appreciate those who laugh with you and not at you. You will be glad you kept their secrets; prayed with and for them; stood with them and loved them through it all. They will owe you.
