Breathing

I am still here.

Sometimes I wonder...

None the less...

I am still here.

My trip to Costa Rica was amazing and challenging, beautiful and ugly, good and real and honest and wonderful..... and too much for my tired fingers to write.

Alyona and Lera are visiting from Russia. They are my special blessing. We have been to work camp in Columbus, King's Island, various cookouts... tomorrow we head to a conference and then on to retreat before they depart for New York on July 18th. I move on to Memphis on the 22nd and then on to Russia on July 25th (if that visa comes through!!!).

My nephew is still hanging on... getting stronger every day... up to 1 pound 7 ounces now I do believe. (You go, Logan!).

I am tired... my gray hair is peaking through again. I think I am getting sick.

And yet...

I am more blessed than I can express. Life is beautiful. It is my July goal to love and LIVE it!
