It's a nice cool breeze! I'm enjoying it, although I don't expect it to last forever!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227735267789306069.post-3708612421913514692009-08-16T09:36:08.093-07:002009-08-16T09:36:08.093-07:00Excellent post.

I so appreciate your perspective, Linda. I sense change but have no clear idea as to what that will be. I'm trying to be aware and observant. Writing is helping to clarify my thoughts. I'm on the way to an unknown destination but I'm ready and willing to take baby steps. Maybe one day I'll run!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348728956892091584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227735267789306069.post-4718557068167461242009-08-15T12:55:52.009-07:002009-08-15T12:55:52.009-07:00That is a great question.

I'm beginning to get a glimpse of my life once they're gone and what that might entail. <br /><br />I'm starting to also see that my job is also one of my ministries, which I did not see for a long time, despite working in the office of a youth ministry.<br /><br />Thoughtful post.2nd Cup of Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478944775613602625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227735267789306069.post-68389230544277295532009-08-15T07:56:07.786-07:002009-08-15T07:56:07.786-07:00And P.S.

I know my purpose associated with them. It's most important. But I also know writing fits in there somewhere.<br /><br />On a different (but related) note, the MC of my WIP is an 82 year-old woman who's just learning to let her hair down and see who she really is. I hope it will (get the chance to) speak to many women.Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227735267789306069.post-47362268279143860292009-08-15T06:23:27.697-07:002009-08-15T06:23:27.697-07:00My purpose sometimes changes so fast that my head ...My purpose sometimes changes so fast that my head spins! LOL!<br /><br />Right now I'm still learning the long distance grandma role, hating the distance, but enjoying the wonderful connection.<br /><br />I'm also learning to be quiet and restful and to be whatever I want to be instead of competing with the rest of the world. This is sure not an easy lesson to learn as I've always been the "Type A", multitasking, goal oriented person.Donna M.
