learning, impact, independence, beauty

La Petite Maison shop

Studying personality types is interesting to me. I have learned that a perfect day for my personality will involve studying and writing, listening and advising, having a project to work on independently, and some beauty for the senses.

Richard went on an overnight trip with the young men over the weekend. I wanted to avoid my usual pattern of desolately cleaning the house and watching a movie while he was away. So, I planned a weekend of writing, making gifts, eating out, and exploring an antique shop. Becky and Sarah joined me for lunch and shopping. Our time together was so good.

I never got around to cleaning, but I fed my fundamental needs for learning, impact, independence, and beauty.

Delayed.

A winter storm in the South has caused a delay in my parents’ departure to Puerto Rico. Richard and I picked them up from the airport after a rough start to their journey and they are staying with us for a couple of days. This unexpected visit has been wonderful for me, a tender mercy from Heavenly Father, who knows my heart. My parents are anxious to be in their assigned mission, but they have taken some needed rest here before their big adventure continues.
