happiness is a journey, not a destination

for a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. but there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. at last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. this perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. happiness is the way. so treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. -souza

God has done so much in my life since moving back to the States in June, but so much has happened that I'm not going to try to back track over the past 4 months.

As most of you know, this is my neice Miss Cora Jane. She was in Chicago this past weekend for a visit along with Amy. She has become the most adorable little person I've ever known, although she can have a little attitude of her own when she wants to. She's really starting to get a huge personality and it's often hard to not laugh at her when we really shouldn't. Her 1st birthday is in a week so I'll post pictures from that in a few weeks.
