Towards the end of the week

Tonight is the eve of the

feast of the

Protection of the Mother of God.

*

I am a bit exausted after a busy Thanskgiving weekend

and was not able to go to vigil as I hoped.

But the prayers are still with me here,

as well.

*

Work is still going well but is slowly getting more

intense;

so I am a bit tired.

*

Friends receiving news of joy and of sadness.

Life keeps happening around us.

I am so thankful that

God is with us

throughout it all.

Home Again

Thank you all so much for your prayers

and encouragement.

*

It meant a lot to me.

*

I am home now.

It was really hard. I am more of a quiet

introverted type and

the all day meeting and social events was exhausting.

A few times during breaks I would slip outside

for a minutes peace to be alone

and I felt like those moments were heaven.

I can't say so much for the rest of the time but

thank God that I am home now.

*

I admit to missing my contract work where I could just

work at home.

Too bad that there is not an easier balance.

*

I am trusting God that He can show me the way

through all of this.

*

Thank you again for your prayers

and encouragement.
