“I am still learning.” ~ Birthday Boy tonight at 60th birthday party
My friend Stan turned 60 today and we celebrated in fine fashion tonight at his home with a gathering of his friends as his extended family all live overseas. His wife and daughter threw the party for and with him. In his thank you speech he said he was still learning and that each of us had given him a gift. He then went around the room and told each of us the gift we were to him. It was very touching.
Today was a busy day. I woke up and lay in bed, hoping to will myself back to sleep. I finally got up as I had a reflexology appointment. A dear friend of mine graduated in February and I wanted to see if I liked it. I did—I especially liked the opportunity to catch up with her as she worked. My feet are very telling…my spine, reproductive organs and liver are not happy. This was not really new. I am pleased that without even trying she broke the ganglion that had grown on my foot. I heard it pop and it startled both of us, but I am glad that it is gone. Hopefully it will stay gone.
From there, because the rain had stopped, I swung by the Farmers Market as I drove by and picked up a few things, including rhubarb to make muffins. I stopped at a store to buy a baby gift for a friend that I will see near Brandon tomorrow. Her son is just a week old and I look forward to meeting the little man. From the photos, he looks absolutely perfect!
When I eventually arrived home, I found out I had no water as my landlord was doing some renos. He had expected the job to just take two hours but the water was still off when I left at 7:00 and he had started at noon. This house can be a laughing stock some days…if I am not crying over whatever is going on. I was frustrated. Lord, please fine me a new home soon that will be a place of peace.
I am still learning….to be patient, kind and gentle. I am still learning too to get to bed at a decent hour.
Peace,
Suzanne
