Well, I’m getting back into the after-holiday routine.  Julia and Amy and I are taking the ASL class.  Last night was the first class of the term.  We are in ASL 101, tempered to a comfortable pace.

Last week-end I began weaving baskets again.  I went to a Guilders Weave, where basket-weaving guild members from all over the region came together for various levels of classes (workshops) and learned new techniques and wove new baskets.  I had a wonderful time, but still have aches and pains in my hands and fingers from using those small muscles so much!  My baskets turned out not-too-bad considering I have not really done any weaving in about 15 years!!  I have joined our local Tidewater Basketry Guild so will be weaving something at least once a month.

I am also having personal “growing pains” and trying to find out what I think, how I feel, who I am…  sounds like I’m in college, doesn’t it?  Perhaps these are questions we face from time to time throughout life.  I’m 61, and I sense that God has some pretty exciting stuff for me these next 20 years or more.  I just wish I knew what that “stuff” is and where it is taking me.  Change is difficult, but since I’m still on my life’s journey, change will continue to come before me.  Thanks to Jesus, I don’t have to do it all by myself.
