And now for a word from our sponsor: Gratitude is still in the house, in spite of most everything in the house being in boxes or bags, etc. I am grateful, but at the moment I’m not 100% sure what all I’m grateful for. I’m exhausted, having awakened at 5:00 again this morning and it is now 11:45 Pacific Time. I have worked all day and am not finished. I will no doubt wake early tomorrow and be back at it. If I am to post this while it’s still September 27 in this part of the world, I will be brief. I think I cannot help but be brief anyway, my brain went off duty about an hour ago.
I am grateful to have the will to simply keep moving forward. I think I recently quoted Oprah Winfrey in a blog post earlier this month, but her words are in my mind still. She said, “It is a blessing to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other, to be in a position to make the climb and to know the summit is still up ahead.” Well I sho nuff have been climbing for a while now, and while I know the summit is up ahead someplace, it has been temporarily obscured from sight.
Tonight I am going to take my rest and tomorrow they’re going to come take my bed! And pretty much everything around me. I’ll camp out here cleaning and settling things up before heading out in a couple of days. Until then, I’m going to keep putting one foot in front of the other and do the best I can. I hope to keep posting Lessons over the next few days, though depending on the internet availability and my energy level (I expect to be in the car between 10 to 14 hours or so each day) I might miss a day. Know that gratitude still reins, I simply didn’t have the energy to record it! But hopefully I’ll be back here each night. Until then…
