What the world!

This must be one of the most neglected blogs around. Truly - I do intend to create a lovely entry of our days and adventures. After Halloween it seems time speeds right up and now before I can breath two breath(e)s (is that how you spell that?) - it is 3 weeks before Christmas. I intendto post some photos as soon as I am reunited with my camera and inquire of the husband why my last photo display only portrayed number sequences.
I am still on a high after venturing to my homeland to spend some days with my family there. They are a joy! My best pleasure is to be together with my little family and my big family! I have to cherish every moment because the opportunity as of late, has only been about twice a year. But, I am thankful for those two occasions. Everyone must have a trial in life and I suppose if missing my family is the most difficult one I am given - then I suppose I can endure. Being away from my mother, father and my sisters is sad enough and if you add in the economic and moral decay of our nation - anyone listening from above, please no more - my trial meter is full. Actually, we have been very blessed and I am full of gratitude for the many gifts we've received. We are healthy, we have a solid roof over our heads, we have income, we have friends, we have the gospel and we have a lot of love.
I guess one reason for not getting to the blog or other fun sideline activities - is the current seriousness of life. The depth of thought, the analysis of the state of the world, the preparation needed to meet the needs of the family - All out weigh - other trivial activities. Not that blogging is trivial - it can be a source of glee
and momentarily distract one from reality. So - these ramblings are just thoughts as I end this Sabbath night. Work hard, pray often, contemplate, find joy in living and find opportunities to give happiness to others, remember from whence the blessing come and thank Him for those gifts. All is well, all is well.
