today, a quiet day after a day in NYC

(picture from yesterday, at one of the 2 diners I like in NYC)

Yesterday was good, busy and a bit hard towards the end.

My eye is stable, thank God!

***

My dear ones who are in the midst of trying to adopt 

their foster baby had a worrisome development

that I prayed and prayed about, emailing and texting 

close ones for prayers.

So that worry is gone but we will see.

***

My foot did well over all yesterday

but was aching by night.

It was my first big trip to NYC since my 

ankle injury.

My foot still feels a lot thicker than the unhurt one

and is stiff often and sore daily it seems.

Back to PT tomorrow.

***

I am reading the Lord of the Rings

and hopefully my parents are coming in less than 2 weeks

and then we hope we can do a staycation, after this visit.

We will see.

***

I still have some issues with the sinus cold I got

and we are battling on, valiantly I hope but with 

some weariness.

***

I wish there were places to go like in Tolkien's book,

where one could really rest, heal and regain strength.

But Tolkien also show that the times of rest and healing

are so you can go on with your life's quest....

May God have mercy on us! 

How much we need His mercy!
