You know I was looking at old, pictures that really should be placed in albums to view them properly. I love photos but I haven't done a good job of organizing them for ultimate viewing pleasure. It just so happens, that when my son told me he needed pictures for a class assignment by tomorrow, I had to go digging. I unearthed some photos that I haven't viewed in a long time.
It seemed like a different life back then. Babies and toddlers and smiles and trips taken and just the everyday stuff of life.
So that got me thinking that I should add more pictures to my blog, but I haven't taken the time to learn how. I was also thinking about adding links and was looking up some links that I've saved on the family Mac computer. I love the title for the stored links. It's the Bookmarks Bar in place of Favorites in Windows. I get a real kick out of it every time I open it because, that's about as exciting as my life has been lately.
I often frequent the bar. Get it!
In all seriousness. At this stage in life, I think we're not looking so much behind us as we are looking ahead whether we care to admit it or not.
The question was posed to me in my Sacramental Preparation class of middle schoolers, what came before God or how did God come into being. Isn't that the million dollar question. I responded, it's a mystery. I did say, however, the reason we are here on earth is to know, love and serve God. If you really think about it, minus all the external stuff, why are we here on this earth. What is our ultimate purpose. We have to be connected to God.
Have you ever wondered if there is a wrinkle in time, akin to the famous book by Madame L'Engle.
From pictures to bars to the creation of time. I'm all over the board tonight. This is the way I usually write in my journal. I'll try to be a bit more focused next time.

I'm Not in the Mood for Writing
I'm not in the mood for writing, but I thought I would put pen to paper again. I revised my resume and brought it somewhat up-to-date. I'm not sure of all the places I might apply, but at least it will be handy. I want to get a part time job to supplement me while I'm learning the insurance job. Maybe I'm just dreaming, but when the pressure is on the cooks get out of the kitchen, or something like that.
Lent is already half through and I don't feel that sense of desert. I gave up listening to music, which is kind of refreshing and I gave up drinking alcohol, mainly wine, because I wanted to see if it had an effect on me. I do crave it from time to time and I just read in the paper today that moderate drinking of alcoholic beverages may keep weight off. I bet you it gives you more wrinkles though. You just can't win.
I went to a faith class today with the theme of prayer. Prayer seems to come to me so naturally now, and it's nice to know that there are many different forms. It was interesting to remember how we prayed as children and how we pray as adults now. I mainly ask God to accept me as I am, because, lately I'm having a hard time accepting myself so I've decided to let God do the work. I'm trying to relinquish control, so why not do that with prayer from time to time.
I think this Lent, I've decided that I'm in limbo. Maybe that constitutes desert. Sometimes I don't really feel like I'm fully living but I'm not dead yet either. Maybe it's because I've decided to go a year, a whole year!, without buying clothes except for the occasional pair of socks. I wonder if I'll extend it to shoes and purses also. Spring, summer and fall are the hardest time not to buy clothes. I'll just have to stay out of the stores. I think I will still buy makeup, though. I have to have a little pick-me-up. My closet is full and I don't really need clothes-- I just love them, that's the problem. I'm doing partly to save money and pay off some debt and partly to see if I can do it. I'm not one for making goals all the time and this is not tied to any New Year's resolution. It just came to me one day.
Well, for not wanting to write, I think I did a pretty good job. I should write more often but my follower base is sparce so I'm not as compelled to do it.
