It’s been several months since I last played over here in
the light of Aniluminary. Have you missed me? I’ve missed being here. So where
have I been?
Well, I’ve been on the move. The hubby and I made a major
change in our lives and took ourselves 1,300 miles from where we’ve been for almost
thirty years. A 1,300 mile leap of faith. We’ve returned to the Pacific
Northwest where I was born and spent my growing up years, until I ventured out
into ‘new territory’ by way of southern California .
In that ‘new territory’, I met and married my husband. As a young couple with
our first child, we responded to our shared attraction for the Pacific Northwest and moved back here. We stayed long
enough to produce a double feature in the family, our twins. Then away we went
again. And like a yo-yo a couple years later, wound up once more in this
familiar neighborhood. After expanding the family with our youngest, the yo-yo re-looped
to SoCal, for a much longer stay this time.
But let’s fast forward to the present and guess what? The yo-yo
finally retracted and here we are—we feel like we are home. I am done with
yo-yoing! And no-o-o-o-o-o, we will not be having another child this time!
Although…here’s a thought:
Every time I’ve written an entry for my blog, I feel like
I’ve brought something to life, so maybe these writings are my babies. If so,
if it please the Lord, may I be fruitful and multiply. And may these kids of
mine enrich your lives.
Just for fun:
While visiting with my mom at the assisted living facility
not long ago, Sock Monkey tells a story, not the one about how he got a knot in
his tail—that’s too scary. (Sock Monkey came into existence at my mother’s
sewing machine.)
