a month without and a month with

Marty has been gone for over a month now and due back in 10 days. It has been an experience in patience and calm. Lots of weather to contend with and all his chores and overall I would say that I not only miss him for the things he does but I just miss him. So IRONIC I know. I miss the good things and don't miss the bad things. But I have felt a sense of freedom and over busy-ness too! Daughter has her needs, mother came to visit, work was so busy and time just has seemed so short. Church has been awesome as has my spiritual reading and continued growth. I have shared my faith with my mother and she has attended my church and read some of my books. She has asked questions and so forth but doesn't see how a person can choose NOT to be Catholic. That's okay, she doesn't have to get that, she just has to get that you must love, believe, accept and embrace Christ and all who HE is. He is the I AM. I love Him for that and thank Him for this opportunity to share with my mom. Am too tired to keep writing and hope not to let so much time pass again.
