been feeling pretty quiet over here. but man am i looking forward to spring. it’s been wet and soggy for weeks and weeks and i’m desperate for blue skies, warmth, and the popping up of flowers. we’ve been going back and forth to portland and still no house but we’re hopeful we’ll find something soon. it seems i’m in a good solid waiting period these days. waiting for loose ends to tie up. waiting to find our home. waiting for sunshine. waiting for inspiration. i suppose all this waiting is a good time to practice faith. the hardest part of faith, for me, is the waiting, the letting go, and the knowing that all will be well but that it’s not up to me to determine the outcome, the when’s, where’s and how’s.

in the meantime, i’m back to my word for 2010: nurture. nurture. nurture.
