My website is currently under construction.  -Feels a little like life.   Laboring. Building. Bulldozing.  Measuring.

-Frowning when the results don't match the blueprint.

I have not been able to find my groove this school year.  It's what I long for in August after the chaos of summer.

Routine chaos. 

 That's how I refer to the school year.  Scheduled craziness.  It's a time of busy-ness, but I know the things that are coming my way.  There are set times for school, practices, twirling and church events.

Somehow this school year has managed to continually throw curve balls.  I don't like curve balls.  I don't like baseball........ with its strikes and the ump shouting "you're out"! 

No, routine chaos isn't here yet.  It's more chaos with a little bit of routine mixed in. 

Thankfully I can always depend on the computer (insert sarcasm).  I sat down this morning to post something fun, something upbeat: Life Lessons Learned from Dogs. 

I had it just like I wanted it.  I was ready to add pictures, my favorite part.  I'd found sweet pictures of dogs dating all the way back to when Hayden was three years old.

I pressed the "insert photo" button like always.  For some reason my pictures wouldn't upload.  I think I may have tried near fifty times. It consumed a big part of my day.  Things are supposed to work they way they're supposed to. I had Jason try.  I thought my picture gallery may have been too full, so I began to delete pictures from my gallery.

You may have noticed I unknowingly deleted my "fun feet" header photo.  My theme picture- gone.  Not happy about that.

So here I am......tonight........pictureless.  With only words.

And then I remembered the closing lines of yesterday's post.  Those words have pounded me with ironic force.

(When the pretty picture I have in my head, stays just there)

It's worth remembering that even beauty hidden from my eyes, remains deep within me.

Reflect the beauty.

Pictureless, tonight, I must dig a little deeper.  

.....but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart

with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,

which in God's sight is very precious.  -1 Peter 3:4

Even when the results seem disappointing.

Even in the chaos.

Even pictureless, be adorned.
