David commented that I am inspired. I thought a lot about this. That in the post of "how do I do what I do". He got me to thinking...I believe that he is right. The perception of sheer determination is somewhat an error. Even in that idea it is the "I" the ego that accomplishes.
Well I know that the days I live are many where I do not know how I even do what I do or accomplish those things that are formed in and through me.

David your right and I stand very gently and thoughtfully corrected.

It is His breath with in me and around me for without it this woman would be feeble and week in my shoes to accomplish much of anything. I stood at the big board last evening trying to do the tasks of menu and assigning the "tasks to the maidens" so to speak. I was overwhelmed. Seeing the pantry and trying to keep up that pace of preparations. It was at that moment I was dearly reminded of the difference.

In my strength I was overwhelmed, saddened that life takes on such a great challenging role in so many of our day -to-day lives. How exhausting it can all be. It left me tired. The thought, well perhaps the inspiration...if you want to do it on your own you can...or I can do it through you.

well...enough said.

Thank you David
