there and back again...or something like that

You know it has been a bit too long since you have looked at your blog when you find yourself wondering what your blog background looks like. eek!

It has been since Mother's Day that I have posted.

Wow!

Did you miss me?

A longer post is due, but I am not quite there yet. Perhaps soon.

In the mean time:
* I went to Canada - we visited some lovely friends of my mothers and had the most delicious tea and dessert. We ate some other yummy things as well, but the almond flavored pastries have been visiting me in my dreams.

* I went to Michigan to get more wrinkles in my brain. (Does anyone else use that expression? Could it possibly be truth? My grandmother always says that learning new things give you wrinkles in your brain. I have always assumed it was one of those sayings - like when you make a face and your grandmother says you should be careful so that it doesn't get stuck like that.) I worked on the In-Residence portion of my never-ending M Div degree.

* I flew home.

* I did laundry

* I packed

* I went to Boston with Joshua

* We ate Italian food

* We found an apartment

* We spent time with friends and walked along the St. Charles River

* We ate Italian food

* We flew home

* I am exhausted....but, perhaps I should finish my sermon for Sunday...Just a thought.

In the mean time, I want to leave you with a quote a grabbed off a professor during my time in Michigan.

Enjoy!


Love,


Amy

In Reference to the Human Soul:
The word rebounded to me, and I wondered, as I often had, what it was exactly. People talked about it all the time, but did anyone actually know? Sometimes I’d pictured it like a pilot light burning inside a person – a drop of fire form the invisible inferno people called God. Or a squashy substance, like a piece of clay or dental mold, which collected the sum of a person’s experiences – a million indentations of happiness, desperation, fear, all the small piercings of beauty we’ve ever known.”
(Sue Monk Kidd, The Mermaid Chair)
