Wednesday of many blessings and hope for better

This Wednesday was a full day.

My quilting friend came for tea and lunch.

Mr. Husband goes into NYC tomorrow and prepared for that.

We worked on the binding for my godson's quilt - I hope to finish this soon!

I got a lovely belated Christmas gift (belated because we missed 

Christmas this year) of all the things I love:

Christmas ornament, tea, chocolate and a nice soap!

It was a real bright spot in the day today. 

I am still fighting a sense of restlessness ~ I think in part

because we have been convalescing so long.

I was really tired today, though I managed to do many things,

and I just want to get back to having more energy.

But I think also that the end of January is often hard.

I remember years ago in Ottawa, the snow, the muddy snow melting in 

my apartment hallway, the sense of dragging and discouragement...

But I am seeking thankfulness and God's mercy.

I was able to light the main lampadas today,

and listened to the paraklesis to the Mother of God before

my friend came over; 

I was able to get all the dishes washed;

we enjoyed mint and rose tea, a tulsi tea, lemon water,

lovely food for lunch and dinner,

and some nice dark chocolate.

A friend is coming over for tea tomorrow morning DV

and I am looking forward to using the new tea I was given

and a sweetbread from my Grandma that is waiting

to be enjoyed in the freezer. 

I hope to finish my godson's quilt and start on another 

project soon.

I have special chocolates and tea waiting,

beautiful new Christmas ornaments

and friends who send gifts of caring love.

God is good and I am seeking to be thankful for 

the many many blessings I have in my life!
