Imagine me with nothing to say.

I thought perhaps I should actually write an entry that didn't have anything to do with the new room in case my readers are like I was last week with the "would you get on with the room already??!!" But alas, it is the only thing on my head right now. I mean, I could tell you about the birds going wild outside my windows but that will lead to an explanation of how we can see out all 4 sides of our house now and how marvelous the new windows are and then of course, I'd have to tell you that the color we painted it changes with the light and sometimes it's blue and then sometimes it's green and then I would hope that you would say that you can't wait to see it and then I would show you these:

Okay, that was sneaky. And my horoscope today said to watch out for deception. Yikes. And sorry. I have gotten some neat emails lately, here's a sampling:

"When we are on top of a mountain, it is as if we have ascended to an alternate realm, one in which the air is purer and the energy lighter. Many a human being has climbed to the top of a mountain in order to connect with a higher source of understanding, and many have come back down feeling stronger and wiser. Whenever we are feeling trapped or limited in our vision, a trip to our nearest mountain may be just the cure we need. " DailyOm (wouldn't it be cool if the nearest mountain was Mt. Hood in Oregon? sigh.)

Claiming your own blessedness always leads to a deep desire to bless others.
Henri Nouwen

You cannot know God until you've stopped telling yourself that you already know God. You cannot hear God until you stop thinking that you've already heard God.

I cannot tell you My Truth until you stop telling Me yours.

Conversations With God, Book 1Neale Donald Walsch

That was a good one. So there you go. 3 for the price of 1. Soon I'll be relaxed, writing in my new office, perhaps you'll knock on my door and we'll sit together quietly sipping tea, watching the birds as they scramble in the pyracanthia and the chipmunks playing in the fountain in the corner. Shall I put some music on or is just their singing enough?

See you soon!

Oh wait! I made a new card last night:

"The Symphony of Creation"

I love this card. It's how I feel in the Spring when one by one the sprouts start bursting through the ground. I always feel like God is tapping his stick saying, "Okay, now! Cue the daffodils! Crocuses, you may exit to the left and let's bring on the dogwoods!" And then the frogs begin croaking in the pond and all is right with the world......

Workshop this weekend at CCPC. Maybe we'll take a small field trip to my house, whaddya think? A walk will do us good :)
