Welcome to my blog!

The name comes from the Old English word (sabat), which comes to us through Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. It's origin is "to rest", and is etymologically connected to Sabbath and Sabbatical. It seemed appropriate... given my current time of transition. This blog allows a place for personal reflection, shares my whereabouts and happenings, but most importantly - it is a vehicle for your reactions to my submissions. My hope is that, as a group, we have a running dialog pertaining to those things that really matter.

I promise to read each post, but please know that replies may be sporadic and/or delayed. For my plans in the near-future will frequently have me "out of pocket", or I may just need to escape the day-to-day deluge of electronic ping pong . But feel free to submit a post. We are all traveling together on this journey to understand, called life; and each perspective is important.

Let's keep in touch as we share the journey!

Be well,

Sam

Timeout for Clarence


Meet Clarence - our one-year old Brittany.  Just like Clarence Oddbody, the guardian angel in “It's a Wonderful Life”, this angel appeared unannounced in the frigid waters on a snowy evening. Apparently he had been caught in the rapid current of the winter floods;  and we found him (cold and wet) adrift in the Yadkin River. And just like his namesake... he is sometimes an inconvenience, but a true blessing in the end.


I mention this on the blog because Clarence must see the vet to have a "procedure" this week (yes... the big one), which will postpone my backpacking trip due to the post-surgery convalescence..  Yet another inconvenience, but he's worth it.
