Sincere apologies for my blogging absence....I have been reprimanded by many, and it is totally fair that I have! After all, my last blog asked you to pray for us during the fires....then NOTHING....Anyway, thank you for praying. My "temporary" residence was spared, as was the home of my friends Andrea and Jim. In fact, with the winds slowing on the day I blogged, the firefighters were really able to make significant strides to save so many homes.
I am now at the airport on my way home for a quick weekend visit with Sean (it's American Thanksgiving), and the lady I am visiting with has just been here to spend time with her sister who lost her home in the fire. The reality is overwhelming as you hear about the homes that were lost and the challenges people are going through emotionally to recover.
So since I last blogged, I had a wonderful visit at home and was able to connect with some friends, enjoy TWO weekends at Uptown and successfully lead a real estate conference. Then I came back to San Diego and got sick....ahhhhh. Anyway, I spent 2 weeks in bed, but am feeling much better and am incredibly grateful to the Director of my program, as well as my professors and classmates for being so supportive. There is lots to catch up on, but it feels feasible. Most of all, Andrea, Jim and the kids took great care of me - often giving me a place to go and be loved when I wanted to get out of bed.
Overall right now, I am so grateful for the people in my life.....I wish more people were as blessed as I am to have the love in their lives that I have. Thank you to each of you who love me.....you make my life better.
