A Calm Place

This weekend was a quiet one, with family time spent (just the three of us), and a date night enjoyed, some new plants purchased for the garden, and tiles chosen for the shower. We are going to be doing some work (well, the Hub Dude is going to be doing some work- he is the plumber, after all) in our shower, fixing leaks and replacing some horribly painted floor tiles. Sadly, the people who owned our house before it was ours did a whole lotta work that wasn't done well, or in a quality manner.  We have slowly been fixing all of the things that are falling apart, chipping off, and popping up.  In a way, there is some blessing in this as we now have tile in our living room which better suits our taste, and our kitchen has been customized to meet our personal styles and needs.  

The best thing about this weekend was the sense of peace that pervaded everything. On Friday night I attended a wonderful full moon gathering with Sisters. This filled me with a sense of peace and joy and I made a mental note that this is a group I must be more involved with. The rest of the weekend was equally as nice; I was grateful to have serenity this weekend, after the tumult of the previous one. I do believe that peace is often born of chaos, however. I rarely make positive and necessary changes unless some event or other crops up to urge me forward.  The explosions that rock our lives also give birth to new creation.  

Today, we have homeschool activities that should be fun and educational. It's nice to begin the day late starting "regular" week with an activity rather than just hitting the books. Our year is wrapping up, and summer is threatening a little more each day to arrive, although today the sky is grey and brief showers keep swishing through our area. 

Good Tuesday to all!
