And you're right, I believe God is there that's why tears of joy and thankfulness flow easily.

I'm glad you found my little String of Pearls.<br /><br /> I used to be really good at blogging every single morning...but I've been falling down on the job lately! I'm working on a second YA Catholic novel, and I've been spending most of my writing hours on that these days. But I've got over 1,000 posts in my archives, if you're interested in reading any of those when there's nothing new here.<br /><br />4 under 2!! You must have twins--how old are they? We have 3-year-old granddaughters who are identical twins. God bless you, you're a busy lady!<br /><br />It does all go by in a flash, though. I talk about the perspective from the empty nest a lot on this blog.

If we had only one son, or two in the same town who were both planning to stay put, we would do it in a heartbeat. But we have five, and we don't want to choose between them! Plus, their lives might still be in flux, because of jobs and whatnot, so we're not sure how it will all pan out. One of the sons in VA who currently lives about 10 houses away from his brother thinks he might want to eventually move back up to the Northeast. So for the time being, we have just come to grips with the fact that we should keep the family home and do a lot of traveling to see them all.Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-61510460874899080422014-08-04T13:10:11.277-04:002014-08-04T13:10:11.277-04:00The music is often what gets me going.The music is often what gets me going.Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-42387294986297589872014-08-04T13:09:12.676-04:002014-08-04T13:09:12.676-04:00[Smile] right back at ya![Smile] right back at ya!Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-15051343100051189962014-08-04T13:07:47.832-04:002014-08-04T13:07:47.832-04:00I imagine it doesn't take much to bring tears ...I imagine it doesn't take much to bring tears to your eyes, with what you've been through.
