It's a day of quiet for me. A day to unfurl from the madness I've had all week. Some days I feel stretched beyond what I am capable of and just as I am about to question and doubt, I wake up to a morning like this where I feel a renewed sense of "I can do this". Sometimes I just need a little ME time so I can reassess my purpose. During the week my mind tends to get tangled in the grandeur of literary theories and the discipline it takes to achieve what is expected of me...something I am beginning to think is entirely unreasonable, but I asked for it, so I will rise to the occasion and give it my best shot- I need today just to soak up some space where I don't have to think...and that is how I am trying to start my day...and I have the cutest little friend just outside my window to encourage me. There is a little bird who has snuggled down into his feathers. He looks like a little grey puffball and I am blessed with the opportunity to observe him as he takes a little time to rest. I know just how he feels, because I want to close my eyes and tune out all the things I should be concerned about...just for awhile. I know God provides a way for everyone to acquire balance. This morning I am thankful for recognizing how important that is.**Just a little note** I haven't received an update on Jacob and I'm not really sure why. I'm beginning to think there are cell phone issues - did my sister forget to take her phone charger? In any case she has many messages waiting for her to which I am sure she will respond to when she can, so I am going on the pretense that "no news is good news" for now. Thanking each of you again for your prayers and friendship and just to let you know, even on the days I don't have time to blog - I still read yours!

i know exactly what you mean by "me" time. a day of just time to sit with a cup of coffee and a sweet magazine and have nothing on your agenda...so important to be able to stop and just be still.
every morning, there are usually 8-10 little feathered friends lined up on the rooftop across the way...i was just telling my husband last night how much i enjoy starting my morning watching them!
so glad you had a day for you!
I can remember when my dad use to watch a family of moarning dove's, sometime's I'd sit by him with his feet on my leg's and we'd watch the family together, they day my Dad left this world that family flew away, the mom would try and try to get her children out of that nest and they'd never leave, until the day my left,so did that family as well, isnt that neat??
sorry Joni, I some how got my comment on there twice, so I deleted one.....Nettie
Enjoy your "me" time. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog too. It is true our lives get so busy we forget to take time for ourselves. I'm glad you can take some time out and then can share part of that time with us. You blog lifts my heart and puts a smile on my face each day. Phyllis
