inner strength's July Ruminations
July 1999 July 2000
As I look out my window on this blistering hot day with temps upwards of 105 F, I see burnt grass, wilting dogs trying to find some shade, and scarce red faced people. This is one day and month so dry it feels like hell on Earth! If there ever were a hell, this would surely be it. No place for man nor beast!
Feeling drained from heat exhaustion myself, I wonder what is the use? Why is Mother Nature so mean to give us this La Nina weather which only destroys? No sooner had I thought these thoughts, my eyes panned over to what looked like a blossom. On further view, I saw a budding crepe myrtle in all its fiery red beauty. How lovely indeed. Excited, I decided to walk outside to get a closer view. Upon going outside, I noticed the entire community lined with blooming crepe myrtles. I realized then that no matter the circumstances or adversity, Nature does indeed persevere and prosper. If only I and my fellow man/woman could be so strong and have such faith.

July 1999
I bought my house and am getting to make a major move to the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC. I am nervous at making yet another major life choice. I have moved four times in as many years. Have I made the right decision? That will only be answered after I move. For now, I am busily packing...and wondering...if this move from security to the unknown is the best one for me.
