A disjointed beginning
Decorations are coming down
The house will be decluttered

That's always a good feeling
I woke up this morning with the thought that I should declutter a bit, too
Move through this fog when I can
Two words keep mulling through my head.
Purpose and SerendipityPurpose
What is my reason for being

Serendipity
Finding something delightful when not looking for it

One of these I must work on, the other, I must be open to.
I can't say how successful I will be.
Time will tell.

MY LORD GOD,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that
I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
Amen
Thomas Merton, “Thoughts in Solitude"

Cherly love the prayer and something tells me you will meet those two goals and then some. I think 2012 is going to be a fantastic year, hope one filled with unexpected but welcome change, peace, and the sense of purpose you are seeking.
I truly wish for all of lifes best to be bestowed upon in 2012.
Cheers to great things ahead!
Ooops..forgot to formally say HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A blessed New Year Cherly..
We can sometimes, ask ourselves is there a god!!
I believe there is.
We must believe in ourselves Cherly..
Think about what you would like to do..and try to focus on that.. your husband will always be with you.
I dont know what its like to loose someone.. i have only lost my parents.. It hurts.
Be strong..you will find your way.
Best wishes
