Thursday, November 1

When life doesn't return to normal

So a week ago at this time, I was furiously finishing my packing to head to Harrisburg for the much anticipated Allume Social ... which lived up to and beyond all its expectations!

This Thursday I am in temporary housing, waiting for power to be restored to my home, mourning the loss of items in fridge/freezer, giving thanks for friends and many other blessings.

Being that it is November 1 (HOW did that happen?), I thought I would just give some thanks as processing all of Allume is difficult with my kids STILL off school and us so totally off routine!

I am thankful for meeting online friends in real life and finding them ever as wonderful as I imagined.

I am thankful for my house on the mountain, no fear of flooding.

I am thankful for flashlights and candles.

I am thankful for friends who lend their home for showers and laundry.

I am thankful for temporary housing ... with internet.

I am thankful for health and safety.

I am thankful for chocolate and coffee.

I am thankful for God's Word.

What are you thankful for today?


expect to hear more about Allume in the coming days... there was a lot of goodness and I definitely want to tell you ALL about it!
