Between Christmas Feasts

Here I am again.

Really miss being able to post photos.

Ah well.

***

Still praying for Resa - she is struggling.

***

Found out that the presents I sent with good friends

to Romania

to my sister and brother-in-law

got lost.

Am praying that the suitcase is found,

as I am not the only one who gave gifts to send back to Romania

with my dear Romania-Ottawa friends.

***

I miss my sister.

So strange not to have her around for Christmas.

***

Being home is always such a mixed blessing.

So Wonderful to see family.

I am blessed with a very good family.

But I think I always have this feeling of loss

at the same time.

I think a loss in what I thought my life would be;

married, with children to delight my Mother;

all my friends here in Michigan are married

with children.

But I have much to be thankful for.

***

Was at my Michigan Orthodox church today;

hope to be back on my birthday (this Tuesday)

for Matins in the morning

and to Liturgy next Sunday.

***

Scheduled to go to the monastery for a few days later this week.

***

Flying home in a week already.

***

My heart is full;

I wish someone could explain my heart to me.
