Your Autumn Inspiration Days have just been fantastic. I am sorry I have not been able to comment as much as I would like to. It has been so hectic with caring for my folks and our homeschool starting up again and getting back into the swing of things. But Ted has just headed out to take Ben to TKD and I am stealing a few precious moments to catch-up! :-)

We have had such a drought this summer (but are finally getting some rain…praise God!) so our garden was really hard hit…but the good news is that the herbs just seem to always persevere. I have been cutting and drying and cooking herbs like crazy. Last night I did a roast chicken lathered in butter and a mix of fresh herbs – rosemary, oregano, basil, thyme, pineapple sage, lemon verbena, lemon balm….and then some. Oh my! It was so delicious. :-)

I also want to add that the post you had – I believe it was Patience – with the heartfelt story about the cab driver – had me in tears. It was a reminder that I really needed, as I sometimes rush too much and need a little tap on my shoulder from my Guardian Angel telling me to SLOW DOWN! After all, he can only fly so fast! LOL!!!

I have something cute to tell you – my son Ben said to me, “Mom, if you want your Guardian Angel to fly ahead of you and smooth the way, you have to slow down.” From the mouth of babes! Or in my case – teens! :-)

Thanks so much for all you do and for always being “here”. You have no idea what an inspiration you are to me.

Much Love to you and yours,
Mary
PS – Did you get a chance to read Ben’s post about having dyslexia? If you know any kids with learning differences, send them his way. His story is so heartfelt and inspirational.
