As Dr.Phil says we need to act to create the behavior that produces the feelings of contentment and I think that is a Biblical principle as well -- even though I likeyou amoften "semi-depressed"in dealing with the transitions in my life.

I'm still digging out from under a few things here, but at least everything we need for daily life at this point is unpacked and has a place to go. I hafta ask, though.... what kind of sewer system do you have? Is it a septic tank? Brian is looking for land to build on back in NE right now and much of it is in areas where we would have to have one. I am quite apprehensive about it!

I am so thankful that God has sent caml and peace in my life. I mean real calm is found in Him and Him alone. Thanks for this post today. I know I needed to be reminded of it again and again.

I've been fighting the urge to move - I would like to move every three years, although we were in our house in Garden Grove for 18 years. Tom does not agree with me, luckily. I don't know what it is about moving that I like. Tom thinks its because I will finally sort through the junk - but he says it would just go with us. Anyway I will be praying for you to have less anxiety. I am so happy for you and Tom that you are finally in your new home.

All of us have them in our lives. You have faced yours and, now that the test is over, you are struggling with readjusting. That's normal. You're sane. All is well. Besides, being married to someone who is excited about fireflies has to be cool. Duncan isn’t the only one going through The Crucible. All of us have them in our lives.

Maybe go have a picnic with your grandaughters or go to a movie. Just anything that gets you out of the house and lets you forget the boxes for awhile. They aren't going anywhere, they will still be waiting for you whenever you feel like tackling them again! Blessings my friend! Anyway you can get away from the house for a little while.

When I was a kid, the air around the house would be filled with them. These days, to see just a few here and there is the norm. When we started the process of moving I informed our two kids they needed to get their stuff because I was not going to move it with me. I took a van load of Josh's stuff to him and it's all sitting (unopened) in the garage to the mortuary. Jessica went through her stuff one Sunday afternoon / evening and got it down to just a couple of boxes for us to keep for her until she gets sort of settled into her new place. It's OUR stuff that's in the way! I still have a garage, a storage room in the church, and a ton of sound gear to move over here! I, too, am tired of it all. Don't overdo it health wise ... it isn't worth it. Take your time and spend as much as you need on that back porch with Tom. We loved to catch fire flies!

The plumbing sounds like the old Picayune Promise. So just sit back, relax and watch a good movie with Tom on that big TV. Oh and eat some of the chowder for me...I still need the recipe.

There is something about that experience that brings me back to a more "care-free" time. Dee, you don't have to comment to know that all of us love you and Tom. How about that, a little blog love. O.K. folks, lets all pile on Dee and Tom. We love you guys. Seeing fireflies at night will bring one peace. There is something about that experience that brings me back to a more “care-free” time.
