...family relationships
...wisdom needed
...important testing time for all three girls
...hurdles, not "drama", such as impending childbirth, drug addiction and cancer battles, chronic pain (let's keep our eye on the ball with the really important issues, family!)
I tend to process here with you. But yet it wasn't happening in my brain. I needed a different creative outlet.
Thankfully, God had already given one to The Man About The House and me. He came home Thursday with these two items:
We've been talking about these projects for about 6 weeks, and finally found the right items at the perfectly bartered price from Sarasota Architectural Salvage.
Bookshelf (solid cherry, circa 1910-20) his project.
Window with rotating seasonal pictures for me to sink my teeth into. It will hang as artwork over the buffet in our dining room (thanks to incredible photographers in the Hart Family!).
Just what I need for a better night's sleep!
Update: After a few hours, couple coats of black paint on the already covered pine or cypress surrounding the poured glass....

Rabindrantath Tagore's Sadhana:
"Man's freedom is never in being saved from troubles, but it is the freedom to take trouble for his own good, to make the trouble an element in his joy. It can be made so only when we realize that our individual self is not the highest meaning of our being, that in us we have the world-man who is immortal, who is not afraid of death or sufferings, and who looks upon pain as only the other side of joy."
The projects look cool. Great idea for the photo gallery.
Thank you, Sweetie, for the wonderful phone dialogue just now as we talked about this blog...I get more impressed with your whole "process," and "processing," as time goes on.
Love you! Mom
