Yiwu Timei did good for a while, right? i mean, there were 2 or 3 posts in the SAME WEEK! yes indeed. but apparently i can't keep that up consistently... ;)
i will also take as good excuse that i went away on a pastoral prayer retreat for 4-5 days, with very sporadic internet access although you notice i did TRY which meant i couldn't post. ahem.
here's the report.
i'm working on website content for the worship consultancy. that's going to be fun, once i get it up and going. the website design has been decided, and logo/artwork is almost finished. by the first of april i should have something concrete to offer people. yay!
pets are a focus these days. jake has been extraordinarily wonderful lately; we're very much enamored of him and his dazzling personality. recently we had family visit, along with their sweet little shihtzu puppy dog. jake would offer him toys tossing them over to him! and push little pieces of food over to him, as if to include charlie-boy in all the activities of the canine side of the house. if a dog can have the spiritual gift of hospitality, jake's got it! which is good, because his well, our buddy mccartney will be staying with us for a few days next week. hopefully it will be sunny; when the boys get together, they need lots of room to run and wrestle! and i'm longing more and more for another cat--since losing mr. whiskers in december, this is the first time i've lived without a cat since i was in college. so soon, we'll have to fill that hole, methinks...
the other focus these days is theatre. the HH has ended one production and is into another--this one a one-act that a fellow actor has written for a local festival event. and miss maggie is about to finish her run of midsummer's night dream this week. that's been a lot of fun, but a lot of work for her too--we're very proud of her, how hard she's worked at both this and school, doing so well...
and al is himself back in the theatre world a bit as he takes a class in theatre as part of his college fare. i'm the only one, at this point, who isn't doing something theatrical, but i may be about to change that, as i'm applying to direct a one-act for the town's summer one-act series. we'll see...
other than all that--getting ready to go see my aunt, uncle & cousin in dallas, as we all get to go to the nascar samsung 500 next month, and starting my prep for my last class in my denominational credentialing program, and getting ready for a one-shot class on painting with acrylics. still looking for part-time work. still working through grief and sadness. still enjoying the rainy weather. still working on visual art--painting, drawing, collaging. wrote a not-so-hot-but-i-like-it poem. looking for a photographer to capture a specific image for my website. still knitting--sheep and a scarf!
and just for grins, i'm spending as much of this dark, slow, rainy saturday as possible in my jammies. yes please!
in other words, life, with all its myriad joys and challenges, proceeds apace.
