Has it been 6 months since I posted anything on this blog? We just got back from the most adventurous vacation we've ever taken. For our 40th anniversary, we splurged on a trip to Belize. It was a Yoga Retreat, at least it was for Darlene. I did participate one night but mostly, I used the morning and evening Yoga time for quiet time to reflect and listen to God.
We are giving serious thought to selling our house and moving to Colorado to be closer to two of our grand kids. Long distance grand parenting stinks. Getting closer to Josh's family should allow more frequent visits to Steve's family, who are coming back to the States next summer.
We'd also like to do more traveling to see our extended family who seem to be spreading all over the country in Hawaii, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, N. Carolina and Pennsylvania. Darlene cut back on her classes at the "Y" from 10 per week to 4 per week and my work has also dwindled down significantly. As the years fly by, it seems more important to stay connected to family.
So, what is ahead in 2012? It could be a pretty exciting and may be an anxious year. We'll have to trust God to orchestrate all the details, which will provide it's own challenges. In 2011 I started setting aside one half day a week for silence and solitude to focus and refocus on my relationship with God. Whatever this year brings, I want to remain faithful to this practice above anything else.
