this morning & last evening

I woke this morning to a fire alarm going off in our neighbor's apartment. It wasn't a problem thankfully.  These things happen. 

Soon I will figure out my route for New York City and start packing.  I made myself a fortifying breakfast.  I think the next thing I will do is wash dishes.  My appointment isn't till early afternoon. 

I slept better however, and that was a blessing.  Am finding using beautiful dishes to be really encouraging.  Here's last night's dinner, very simple. 

May God have mercy on us all.

A beautiful Liturgy and good bye

Our local church said goodbye to long-time friends today.  It was really beautiful.

This is a really busy week for me.  NYC Tuesday and Friday; Feast of Transfiguration Wednesday.

My Munchkin goes to college tomorrow!!! 

*****

We bought a simple reading lamp from Ikea that clips on to wherever you want! We basically added it to the lamp we already have.  It works perfectly. I'm so pleased! My husband has really needed more light on his book.  I have a similar one that I got years ago that I use regularly when I'm sitting on the couch! These little lamps are so handy!

I feel like life has been at such a breakneak speed wishing it would slow down.  I'm in need of rest I can tell. 

May God have mercy on us.

Today was full of joy and fun

The pictures say everything I think.

A Sunday to Remember...

We had a special time after church and the lunch 

with our now off-to-college Munchkin who has

been in our lives in a special way since my Husband and I

were married... 

My Husband thought we should pick out another orchid for our home,

so we did.

It's a mercy to have such beauty in one's home.

May God have mercy on us.

A Resource

I wanted to remember that today I found this website that had a lot of articles about neurodivergency, autism and ADHD that I found really affirming and helpful.  It's Canadian and can be found HERE.
