WALKING THE DOG
Woman and Dog with Umbrella Oil Painting By Laurie Justus Pace

Contact me to purchase: Laurie



Yesterday was a cloudy day and the day before a wet day. It is finally beginning to feel like fall. I used to anticipate fall and eagerly await it day after day in the late Indian Summers we get here in Texas.

Unfortunately, by doing that I missed a whole lot of what was there in my life that day. I am one of THOSE people. One of those that tries to fix everything for everyone so everyone's life is good...so I look ahead for pitfalls and try and avoid the worst ones when possible. As I have gotten older I recognize the fault with this. God puts those pitfalls there for a reason. Pitfalls for me and for those I love. AND, I am spending so much time trying to look ahead that I am missing things right here, right now. We cannot get stronger with out these. Our mistakes create growth and definitely prompt problem solving.

Was I born this way or did this rub off from my mother who is the best in care taking? I believe as I regroup my focus I have to keep it in the moment with a direction in mind but the flexibility to relax as things unfold in my day, my week, my month ...my life.

Relax today and let the day unfold. Give thanks to Him as He is hard at work in your benefit.

Grace,
Laurie

The Thought:  Our youngest daughter is still very ill.   I am pumping her full of fruit and juices, mucinex and tylenol etc but it is not a positive thing right now. Does not look like we will make my older daughter's house for Thanksgiving.  I am sad because there will be new family to be attending along with everyone that has NOT been together since the dea
