Its one of those friends episodes that gives me goosebumps when I watch it. There is something so powerful about Rachel's realization of what she DOES have and what she CAN be thankful for. And its interesting that the plan-less life she now has is so much more full of love, life, and joy than the "plan-full" life she gave up. You know that me of all people, I love having a plan. But I've come to realize the beauty and the fullness that comes from living life with flexibility, hope, and appreciation for the now. And autumn! I love autumn. Beth, this time of year has everything good and beautiful in it. May God bless you during this beautiful and reflective season, and may you enjoy the change of color in the leaves and in life itself.

"Walking through the floppiness" together sounds nice... Thanks for being an encourager in my life! See you for yoga tomorrow!

Please walk through floppiness with me. I am definitely floppy. And Fall... ahhh it slows works its way into my skin. I love my kitchen window view right now of Zizkov hill. Things are changing. I do declare Fall to be my favorite time in Prague. Can't wait to see you today. Friend I think I get it. Please walk through floppiness with me. I am definitely floppy.

I've been following your blog for a couple of weeks now... can't quite remember how I got here. ANYWAY... Friends has a metaphor for almost everything! I'm at a different stage of life than you. More in the middle of the journey. At this stage, it is almost like the plan takes charge of itself. School, house, laundry, grocery shopping. There are lots of commitments that just HAVE to get done that there doesn't seem to be as many possibilities. BUT... The fall is always beautiful (at least what little fall we get in California) and I still need some friends to walk through it all with me. Lovely post today!

I’m at a different stage of life than you. More in the middle of the journey. At this stage, it is almost like the plan takes charge of itself. School, house, laundry, grocery shopping. There are lots of commitments that just HAVE to get done that there doesn’t seem to be as many possibilities.

Lovely post today!
