I guess that I will start my blog with these song lyrics. I am a fairly introspective person and i think that the thought of being enough and doing enough is a place that I would get to. Not in a legalistic sort of way, not in a I just want to do enough, I just want to feel that I am doing my part. Pulling my weight and lifting the weight of others if they feel that they are carrying to much.
With this deli adventure I see that as a harder thing to accomplish than if I was in a vocation working with people and their problems directly. In reading this blog you will not only be reading about my joys and frustrations with this new adventure or owning a deli but you will have a "backstage pass" to the discovery and journey in my heart to finding a way to bloom here and still bring help bring heaven to earth. (as my tatoo says.

Here are the lyrics as promised;

"That I Would Be Good"

that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy

that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

... Waking or sleeping... what a great prayer... night friend.
