I see my last post was a very long time ago, especially when you look at this world in which information changes by the minute. It’s not that I’ve been lax. It’s that this blog fell off the bottom of the seemingly ever-growing list of things to do. Granted, the majority were self-imposed. Even with this confession I must temper my statement to say that the vast majority of my pursuits have not been self-centered. In one way shape or form they have been others focused.
I have handled many, many family issues while at the same time nursing my own wounds. And concurrently looking beyond self to apply all my life learning to others in an effort to live what I believe – it’s not about me and my little world. There are bigger things in play. Things which are difficult to put our minds around.
Anyway, that’s not what I am posting about this morn. A project whose inception began in early October was a revamp of our vacation rental website – www.AlaskanChalet.com It has been long overdue and absolutely necessary in support of the vague things I mentioned in the previous paragraphs. I am pleased with the results.
Believe it or not, trying to perform a major revision on a website while keeping family, work, and life in balance was a challenge indeed. Something of an expected moderate expectation of effort became a moderately-high effort and this taught me a lot about me. The “teaching” is far from complete. It opened my eyes to new ways of seeing the world. New ways of seeing my life. In the course of the website transition from old to new Murphy’s Law was king. If there was an frustration that could happen, it happened. Although these changes were not life or death in magnitude they are significant from the perspective to supporting many aspects of our family.
Wow! This post is way more serious in nature than I expected. I think I’ll stop right here. For now just bask in the fruits of the effort. I so want to post so much more here and now, but I don’t know if it would be appropriate.
So to wrap this up, I want to give honor to where honor is due. That is my Lord. He has sustained in ways I could not have imagined in more ways than I can count for longer than I had even realized. Thank you Lord!
