As for me I manage to have some more time for myself as with my knee I can't do much. time for pondering, praying, reading and obviously blogging...

After my post of last night (thank you for your nice comment, by the way - we have a lot in common), I realized that I have to pray when I get up in the morning, that the Lord will guide me to set the right priorities for the day. I know it is important to live life on purpose and yet I've let that slide so often. This is a great reminder. (And I hope you didn't mind that I tore off a tiny piece of your cinnamon toast while I visited your deck in my mind - it was yummy!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-33236112900234401482008-07-06T14:42:00.000-04:002008-07-06T14:42:00.000-04:00Hi, just popped into your blog today - what beaut...Hi, just popped into your blog today - what beautiful photos and lovely words.
