Busyness vs. Serenity






Bud's daughter Katie is spending 5 days with us and everything is going very well. She seems much more content living with her Mom now. Today, she wanted to go out on errands and just do stuff so we went to Longs, the Dollar Tree, Starbucks, and 2 banks. We then got flowers and took them over to Krista since today is her birthday. We were rushing from place to place and I couldn't help but think back on the day that we went to Monterey with my sis and bro in law, Gay and Mike Percy. It was so beautiful along the 17 mile drive. We saw the lone cypress, seals beaching, waves and rocks, and of course the magnificent ocean and rocks. I truly love both types of days and it is fun to balance out in my mind the sharp contrast between the 2 experiences. I love being with and interacting with people but I really need time alone to realize God's beauty and peace.
