…and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you, so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need. ~1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 ✝

Great reminder Natalie. I’ve been blessed to have times when I could live this way and others when I was busy chasing success, money, etc. The flow of life. 🙂

That’s good to hear Natalie. I had thought that maybe you hadn’t done it yet. I thought that you’d be offline for a while. Are you feeling much pain at all? I certainly hope not.
