Tuesday afternoon

Just checkin' in.

Feeling a bit of relief with some work that has come through the shop.  A big-name person here in town called Gary yesterday asking him to build a folding bar, like one he built a year and a half ago for this man's friend.  It's always interesting when folks who hold some sway call him.  Gary's one of the few people I know who's not affected by money or status.  He treats everyone the same, really, but for me it's amusing when the muckity-mucks come calling.  And a person in Denmark bought one of his wooden vapors this morning.  Doubly blessed.

We're two for two.  Would be delightful if more came through tomorrow as well. My purse has been a bit empty lately, and since we're behind on some bills, to feel a tiny bit flush would be a treat. We're aways from flush, but closer than we were last week.

And it's hard when the lean times come during December.  We always squeak through Christmas, and do fine, but it's tough.  I realize we're not alone in this, but most people don't talk about it, yet show a brave face and act like everything's fine.  Okay, so it's not fine, but I know God's in control.  I just need to surrender to that.  There's no shame in suffering, and I figure, we've all got something eating on us, right?

Take care and just do today.  That's the best advice I can offer.  :)
