Well...hello, it's been awhile...
It's been almost a year ago that my "life event" occurred. My dear husband of 34 years passed away from an illness, and my life took a sudden turn. My charmed life of a wife, mother to 10 beautiful children and grandmother, now looked different. I was physically alone and making all the decisions. Facing challenges, duties, and mundane items that I never had to bother with prior to this event. Notice, I said "physically". I thank God that I serve a Lord that has promised to never leave me or forsake me.(Hebrews 13:5) But still...it has been a year of adjustments...change...and just struggle. But, slowly one learns what one must do and as Elisabeth Elliot used to say just "Do the next thing..."! This simple advice has carried me through the long year and for that I am grateful.
So many of you have sent cards and letters of love and precious thoughts.....I have so appreciated this. I tried countless times to answer them...I did manage a few attempts, but I still have several letters that I wrote...never sent. Finally I submitted to my relegated season of life and focused my attention on the immediate, the necessary...life.
I still face new challenges (who doesn't?). I now use youtube , not just for pleasure, but how to fix items around the house, and if that fails...I call a professional! But the sun still comes up, and I find myself falling peacefully into bed each night. Thank you Lord!
All this to say...I hope to get started with letter writing again. So, first things first...my desk! This is where it all happens, so I want my supplies at my finger tips...and whatever inspiration I can find. (More on that later-- it's still a work in progress) . So here is a picture (sorry it was taken at night) of my desk as it stands right now. Leave a comment below if you have any questions about my set up. Also, if you love your desk and find it to be a happy place for you, tell me why in a comment!
Check back later this week to see my outgoing snail mail!
Happy Snail Mailing.
Pam
I'm beyond happy to see a blog post from you, and think about you often! Second, your writing desk is what I will dream of when I try to fall asleep at night...instead of counting sheep, I would just count your washi tape as it unrolls over my head:) And just to add, I took an entire quarter panel off my mini-van and changed the cable that made the door slide on it's track all because of of a wonderful gentleman from Indiana who has a Youtube channel. lol!
