This evening is the first time I have thought of this blog in a very long time. Actually, I had forgotten about it. Yet tonight, I am feeling nostalgic and thinking much too deeply about life. This season of my life is a time quite different than for most people my age. Yes, I am blessed and I have accepted challenges that perhaps I should not have, only time will tell. Not sure why I am writing this but I think it is for me. I need to voice my feelings and if someone out there wants to read, well they are welcome.
Living in a foreign country may seem quite glamorous to some and quite absurd to others. To me, I think I am somewhere in the middle. Some days, I love the uniqueness of life here - the antiquities of the buildings and the Spanish culture. Then, there are those other days when the difficulties far outweigh the joys and I think "how absurd" to stay here when life could be much easier back home.
So for now, I will try to meet the challenges. I know life isn't always about what's easy!

South Carolina Spring Days
Spring is my absolute favorite season since moving to South Carolina! Nothing revives or inspires me more than a walk down my street with the Dogwood trees lining the way. When I meander down the sidewalk, I can't help but feel a little more cheerful. The colorful blooms drown out the drab of winter; the new plants bring such beautiful color! Oh, if they would stay a little longer!
Can you tell that I am ready for these warmer days? My plants are beginning to pop through the ground. I wonder what plants have made it through yet another winter and where will the volunteers show up. We have uncovered the pool, trimmed shrubs and began washing down the outside of our house. Next, we will be cleaning windows and replanting the flower boxes beside our front door.
Yet, this Spring is going to be different because it will be my last South Carolina Spring. My house and my gardens, both a labor of love and hate, are for sale. I am moving to Spain to pursue a greater love!
Psalms 42:1
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
