Enjoy the journey!



Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Do not know how I came up with this greeting; however, it is always good to put your best bittidz foot forward!

'Do unto others, as you would have them unto you.' 'Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself.' Methinks that if we all follow and live by these 'golden rules', the world would be a far simpler, better, and happier place. Eventhough I enjoy people; a daily 'quiet moment' is also greatly cherished; as one can take the tidbitz time out to appreciate one's Blessings and 'Praise Him In All Things.'

The week has quite literally 'zoomed zoomed zoomed' by us in a bittid. Have been on the go, with showings of our home, interviews, checking out spots to relocate to, the 'whole nine yards.' We have it narrowed down to three locations; however tentatively we have selected a new abode.

We are also considering leasing for six months to a year (most likely the standard lease will be for a year); and that might be the most sage step at this tidbit time. We have people 'on the hunt' for us to find a home up the valley, with an attractive rent, that welcomes pets. ie. Our beloved pup Blue Heeler, 'Blue.' Eventhough we would prefer to buy, and have a small monthly mortgage; (ie. owning a 'piece of the rock', and not having to move everything a second time etc), it may be far more prudent to simply rent, rather than putting out a chunk of cash, towards securing a mortgage.

The fears and shudders oozing from the financial meltdown of the past several months, have created a 'perfect storm' / domino / ripple effect throughout the world. Hence, Alan and I are taking positive provisions to regain / recapture our longterm stability. Eventhough our small business has had its 'trials and tribulations' (instiutions extra fearful to lend funds, higher costs of borrowing, tougher credit, and other onerous mandates and hoops); we are thinking best to simply sell our home, and 'Keep Things Simple.'

As it is glaringly apparent that 'Cash is King', we have decided it best to preserve capital at this time. This will help us to retrench, rebuild, and be poised in a more advantageous position for the future. 'Timing is Everything.'; so we have found. It has been a very 'interesting' twenty one months; and throughout everything, we KNOW that He has a better plan for us - as per His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan.

Tidbit - Rely upon Him; not upon your own tid understandings. Ask Him to Guide you and Show you the Way. ie Be ready for the opportunities that He places before you, and always have a THANKFUL heart. 'When one door closes, He always opens another.'

Bittid - He says, 'FEAR NOT.' Therefore, TRUST Him and KNOW that He will never leave you high and dry. He always has the BEST SOLUTION for each and every one of us; as He LOVES us all unconditionally.

So, in bit summary, Alan and I are just 'going to go JOYFULLY with HIS flow', with HIS Plan, and be genuinely grateful for each other, our pup, and all our Blessings. He is THE King!

We have another showing today; so I need to go and prepare our home for viewing. Am also looking forward to watching the Vision Channel tomorrow. Again, here are three of the many wonderful ministries that we enjoy! ie. 'Hour of Power' -www.hourofpower.org; 'Enjoying Everyday Life' - www.joycemeyer.org; and 'Living Truth' - www.livingtruth.ca. They have been /are excellent resources for us; and we thank them for their solid teachings and illuminating insights!

The two photos were recently taken by a good friend of ours. ie. Alan, myself, and our dog, Blue! The climbing clematis (that Alan grew from bittid cuttings from our old home) is a beautiful purple; and over the past few weeks, we have enjoyed some thirty five blooms from this flowering plant. Two years ago, it provided an awesome showing of approximately eighty five flowers! Perhaps, it will reach or even surpass that number this year; as it is still elegantly budding forth! This gorgeous clematis, draped around the lovely Ponderosa Pine Tree, brings a tidbit of joy to all those who pass by it! Another one of His magnificent Blessings! Also, we will make sure that we take some of its clippings with us, to brighten up the new location, wherever it may be!

Here is wishing you a nice weekend.

Peace and God Bless.
