Well, we are in Caronport now and have been here for a week and 1/2 and life is different. Slower. Quite very slow. Time to think. Time to exercise. Time to pray. Time to got through stuff that's just been waiting to be gone through. Organize photos. Clean. It's like revamping my whole life!
And honestly, I don't know what to do. There's too much time! I'm gonna have to start working on me, because everything else is being taken care of. The one thing people avoid the most....

Ooo, sounds scary...
you know...I wonder what would happen if people would just slow down and take the time for themselves. To work on themselves. Not in a selfish way, but in a way that allows them to better themselves. For the good of others. What would happen? Would we see a change in the world? I think we just might...I think busyness has become a way to avoid those issues of "whats bothering me" or "I need to change _____" It keeps us from looking deep inside and being able to change, clean-up, or open up....interesting thought.
Sorry Carmen. Thats the rabbit trail I followed from reading your post! I am glad to hear tho that you are finding more time and I pray that you will fill it with meaningful things and not just junk that does nothing to better who you are and who God wants you to be! Take advantage of the time that He has given you to do those things you want because you might not get the change to again.
Too much time. Hold on a minute while I contemplate that thought...

Nope. Sorry, I just can't imagine it!
Actually, I do remember the days before children when I was between jobs and had time for all those things that I didn't have time for when I was working: Housecleaning and baking and photo albums, etc. But the best thing about so much time is having time to sit and fellowship with God. You're wise to see this as a time to work on you - not that I think you need work! But we all really do. I remember those days...getting up and sitting outside with my breakfast and my Bible... Ahhh, yes...In some ways I look forward to those kinds of days returning some day. But I'm not anxious for them because that would mean the passing of now, which, while busy WAY beyond my preference, is rich and rewarding.
Sorry for veering off a bit there. Enjoy the time while you have it. It won't last long!
Meanwhile, I'll enjoy the busy phase of life I'm in...I know it will also pass in the blink of an eye.

i do find myself avoiding that ... it's easy to use internet or tv or even housework to keep yourself from thinking too much about things you're not ready to deal with.
in any case keep blogging now that you have no excuse ;)
will you be working this year?
Yeah, I'm working full time- I actually just finished an 8 day stretch and enjoying my days off now. ;)
