Made it another week

Well, whew! made it through another week!

Today I folded laundry, did dishes, 

got 3 deliveries (including the new end table for my Husband!),

and finished re-reading Madeleine L'Engle's Certain Women.

I am not sure what drew me to read it again; 

NYC, Theatre, the 1950s-1960s; interesting that she placed it so much in the past,

as it was written in 1992.

It's funny how some decades of one's life one returns to....

I am glad I read it though; esp for the phrase friend of the heart

for friendship of deep kinds that one can have with another, 

like I have with my sister-friend.

I don't know what I would do without books.

Though I know that there is more to life and to prayer...

I talked with my Mother, my Grandmother, and texted with my sister

and also my sister-friend.  

When my Husband was back from NYC, it was a delight to see him.

I managed to get the counter and the island clean.

This week had 3 fast days in a row (Wed-Friday) because of the 

Feast of the Cross being on Thursday.

So tomorrow having tea with milk will feel like an extra treat!

Another treat was that today a card and a letter came in the mail,

such a blessing.

I hope to get back to writing cards and letters again soon;

I wrote one last night and hope for more done soon.

My parents DV come on Tuesday!

I am slowly getting small details finished in things,

from putting away bags,

housework done and thinking about 

what I hope to find at this October's VNA rummage sale.

My parents DV will be with us again and I have a list

of things I am looking for, including some things

for dinner parties that are move involved... 

luncheon/salad plates are one of these 

and will be perfect for various uses.

Our unbloggable worry has had me in some transition that

I am feeling overall better about

in terms of dealing with the actual change, but I find that

I still struggle with feelings of anxiety, even though 

I have dealt with harder things in the past than what we are 

dealing with, as hard as it is now.

Anyway, all I know is that I have a long way to go spiritually 

but I still have hope of arriving.

Meanwhile, I am really appreciating that I am 

getting our home in both better order and also

with more beauty and added functionality that 

adds to the beauty of our home.
