I've been tagged by my blogsister Roz, at her other blog In Dwelling, to complete this meme:
What I was doing 10 years ago: Going through a agonizingly bizarre and sudden divorce, nearly completely without faith in Christ to sustain me, but lots of help from friends and family.
5 years ago: Delighted to have found Jesus in my heart, working full-time in real estate management, realizing it was what I was going to end up doing as a career.
1 year ago: Working more than full-time in the same job for the same company, growing rapidly in my relationship in my parish and with my Lord.
Yesterday: Cooking dinner for my mother who is ill and bed-bound, watching a Bob Newhart retrospective on public television.
