porch

My apartment has a little screened-in porch overlooking the pool and some palm trees.

It is just big enough for my patio table and chairs 

and the few geraniums I was able to salvage.

I love to be out here...

maybe reading, 

maybe having a quick bite to eat, 

maybe just sitting for a spell,

 drawing a breath, 

resting.

Life is simpler now for sure.

Not nearly as much to keep up with.

Sometimes I still can't believe the swiftness that all of this happened.

I am unpacking boxes,

getting my kitchen like I like it,

decorating with a real retro look of old, much loved things.

I don't want to get too spread out because I have to move again,

but...

I have to live here for a while so I might as well be comfortable.

The groundbreaking of my new place hasn't happened yet.

Still waiting for the city to give us the building permits which should be soon.

I am excited to watch it go up, brick by brick.

I plan to be at the site most every day.

My collarbone is healing nicely.

The pain is diminishing every day.

I am so thankful for God's healing power and His grace.

The fall could have been so much worse.

Just wanted to give a little catch-up of how things are progressing.

I am continually thankful for all of the prayers.

We'll see what happens with these.

One is seemingly flourishing,

one is barely there.

and one is I think not going to make it.
