Birds, Cleo and Daily Life

The birds were back today!

Just two this time...

Cleo turns into this little huntress!

It is so funny and a bit surprising to hear her nearly

growl at the birds!

I am looking forward to Lent.

Am praying that this Lent can be a source of healing

for all of us!

I will be blogging during Lent

and keeping up with my fellow Orthodox bloggers

who are still blogging.

But my other fun blogs,

due to French class demands

and scaling back for Lent

I have already been hitting 'read all'

to get rid of all the other blog posts that are in my

Google Reader.

***

French quiz this Tuesday.

Slight bump today RE: tenant.

Have been a bit anxious.

But that is what Lent is about.

Healing from those things,

like anxiety

that seek to entangle.

May God help us all.

Better

French class went better today.

Thank you everyone for your encouragement and suggestions!

I have another networking event

this coming Monday night.

I got a cute linen black dress for $12.00 at a consignment shop!

It's my favourite kind of find;

simple, good quality, comfortable.

To be worn under suit jackets, blouses, cardigans.

Also found a great darkish brown suede like jacket

(the blazer type not trench coat).

Really nice with the black dress, perfect for fall.

I am thinking of going to Value Village for further wardrobe updates.

I am feeling more hopeful right now.

I have a lot of scheduling and planning to do.

French learning and network building.

I feel like my dreams are not fully in ashes.

This is a good sign.

I hope and pray that all of you have something

good in your day as well.

Today is a gift

I have been thinking about living in the moment.

It is true that I will not be able to stay in my apartment.

But today I am in it.

And it is good.

And though I do not yet know what tomorrow is,

this is not my concern.

I have to worry only about today,

just as Jesus tells us to.

I hope to relax more

as in do not worry

and remember the song

this is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made ...

we will rejoice and be glad in it.
