No Place Like Home

…and there’s no place like the Amercas Mart in Atlanta either, whew! A wonderful, wheeling & dealing, whirlwind trip. An Artsy extravaganza! I’ll post pictures featuring one artist’s studio when I catch my breath. Lot’s to organize, regroup and follow up on for me this week. Trying to sell art was physically taxing especially when you’re doing it among eighteen floors of showrooms. Oouuuch. And, of course the church building continues. Texas group of fifty, here all week.

Moth Magnificance

We keep an outside light on throughout the night on one side of our house. So, at dawn I always check to see what kind of night life may have been attracted to it and stuck around till morn. I especially admire God’s creation of the wide variety of moths we see here, such as this one that surprised me this morning.

New Leaf

All extra and even some regular activities, have come to a screeching halt. Yeah!

Following the completion on several commitments, resting today, feels great! Tuesday morning will be another story. I’m turning over a new leaf! I plan to make an all out effort to regain control of self, schedule and surroundings. Taking a little time to regroup, re-focus, reclaim, re-evaluate, regenerate, reflect and reform? Sounds re-asonable, right?

Turning Over A New Leaf idiom: Make a fresh start, change one’s conduct or attitude for the better, as in He promised the teacher he would turn over a new leaf and behave himself in class. This expression alludes to turning the page of a book to a new page. [Early 1500s]
