Thursday, 21 July 2005 - Our very small corner of the world

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for our very small corner of the world.

Our block is in transition again. A couple from Oregon bought Paul's house - they moved in this week. Heather sold her house on the corner to someone who wants to rent the property - so far, no new tenants.

S and I are among the "anchors" - original homeowners who have witnessed the ebb and flow of neighborhood life during the past 18+ years. We love our home - our neighbors have become our extended family with all the benefits and distractions. After nearly two decades, we're firmly rooted in Colorado soil.

Since we don't know what the future holds for us, our living situation may change next year or even next month (perhaps we'll have an opportunity to live in Europe!). But for now, S, T and I are content to claim this very small corner of the world - the familiar place where our lives unfold daily and time marches on.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
