That part of the country is reasonably warm even in winter, which I imagine you might have found, coming from Canada.<br />I'd love to visit Canada some day.

I spent a month in Australia in the summer of 1992 (our summer, your winter actually) and visited Melbourne, Sydney, the Blue Mountains, and drove from Brisbane to north of Cairns. It was an amazing time and I'd love to go back. Except for the jet lag.

I know what you mean by 'creative.' So very interesting that we can do without things we thought were so important.<br />Check back for Susan's reply tomorrow.

Sounds like the year you describe, Susan, was a terrible one for you, but you have also come to a huge realisation through it, which is wonderful.

I'm sorry the last year has been difficult for you, but it's great that you've been able to reflect on what God's shown you in that time. Four years ago we moved to a bigger house that actually had less cupboard space, so I can relate to having to find creatives places for our stuff. We had to get rid of some things and we don't miss them. It's a great thought that God has already given us what we need. Your book sounds intriguing. May God continue to bless your writing endeavours as you touch others with His love.Nola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.com
