Bon Voyage!

When you read this, I will be on a ship far, far away (South Pacific to be specific!) I may be able to post while I’m gone but I’m doubtful. Almost certainly there will be things I will want to post about. Though I haven’t taken my computer, I do have my journal that I can draw from on my return. However, my blogging may be erratic because I expect to be having back surgery on my return.

Just before leaving, I read my friend Mary’s blog (Zippy Quilts) where she described a quilting class she took that in part involved being clear about one’s goals. My initial goal with this blog was just to insure I was writing something regularly and in the process to share something uplifting or at least of some interest. Periodically I evaluate if I am accomplishing what I set out to do and if I want to alter or expand what I’m doing in some way or to change course. This trip seems to offer the opportunity to step back, reflect and consider the alternatives.

I will check back in at Kate’s Hope Cafe when I return and we will see where my reflections have led me!

The invitation is open to share “two cups of tea” anytime at Hope’s Café, or anywhere you share companionship and conversation.

May we be bearers of hope, the “wait staff” of Hope’s Café for each other and all those we encounter.  Shalom, Kate
