“Trust in God and do something.” Mary Lyon
We have been home for almost a month now and are settling into a new sort of normal.
Rolling over into a new decade in the calendar year also marks a new decade for me. I turned 50 this year and happily anticipate this next phase, which some refer to as the third quarter, thus the new blog title. It’s unusual, I know, to look eagerly to aging in a culture that values youth and vitality. I’ve always been a bit of an odd duck so I guess it stands to reason that I might do things a little differently than the norm. My faith also has something to do with it; the looking forward, I mean.
That’s where this new blog idea comes in. I hope to approach my third quarter with a contemplative mind and explore perspectives to life other than our common cultural ones. My worldview will surely impact thought processes, as will impressions from a new course of study with Regent College, not to mention the never-ending activities in bustling Ladysmith as well as the lovely influence of my social network. Although the entries will be of a generic tone, I am a woman and my voice will reflect that but, be of good cheer, all are welcome.
I plan to begin each blog entry with a quote that inspires the best of Third Quarter living and invite your response. Today I am inspired to trust God and do something and that something is this.
Thank you, in advance for joining me. Your comments and thoughts are most welcome.
