Two weekends ago we went to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA.
It was very quiet, I’ll just let my pictures tell the story…
Press On.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could [...]

So quickly the year has passed and it’s already time for another “Heather with ashes on her forehead” picture.
Every year at Lent I try really hard to think of what I should fast from. Traditionally, folks do meat… or some other foodie thing they should consume less of. Since I’m already a vegetarian, and started [...]

Twist me…
and turn me…

I looked in the water and saw…

(note that two are in vintage uniforms circa 40’s & 50’s!)

The past few months have been a whirlwind ’round these parts. Due to the digi-cam being killed by my cat from hell, there haven’t been pictures… I did dig out the 35mm camera (a rather nice one, at that) and dust it off. Hopefully I’ll get those pic developed before the kids graduate from college!
This [...]

Oh sweet lungs don’t fail me now
Your burning has turned into fear
It drills me in my every step, I’m moving quick
But you’re always on my heels
Just one more breath, I beg you please
Just one more step, my knees are weak
My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive
My heart is sturdy but it needs [...]

It is strange to think that my first baby is already 8 years old…
We had a Chinese themed party.
Don’t let the ninja catch you!

So my Lenten photos kind of trailed off at the end there…
I have to admit that part of it was me getting weirded out by the glasses-freaks (see Lent -27 for the details).
Micki came. We stayed up uber late every night and compensated by drinking much yummy Guatemalan coffee. She got a tattoo and started [...]
