Perseverance
The Call: Bubbling Over — Cheryl
If I had to enumerate my strengths, perseverance would top the list. Thanks, in part, to perseverance: I still attend Mass each week with all six kids; Dennis and I survived years of physical separation while dating to stay together and eventually marry; I’ve been homeschooling for about 13 years now; and I continue to see and capture the simple beauty around me every, single day.
The Response: Damn — Jessica
Remember when I posted that picture of the calendar? And how I was whining about how busy things were? Well, the next two weeks are the culmination and it feels like someone just floored the gas pedal! To make matters worse, my car didn’t pass the safety inspection (thanks to a stupid airbag light that flickers on and off) and now I have fifteen days to fix it and get it re-inspected. Just when I need it the least. Perseverance will be the only thing that will get me through to June 11.
It takes an iron will to get through Mass — and as I always remind the kids “virture is a habit of the will” therefore we should be saints in no time… ; )
Awesome shot of the bubbles — and I really like the frozen drips from the faucet!
Ah, government regulations … I think you know how I feel about those. If Dennis needed to get his car inspected now, it wouldn’t pass, because the brake light is on. The brake light is on because when Dennis replaced the pads (recently), he didn’t buy the kind with the wire inside that trips the brake light when the pad gets too worn. With no wire, the car’s computer thinks the pads are worn. Rather silly, don’t you think?
Absolutely! It’s the same type thing with our stupid airbag light. : (
