A difficult day with a surprise ending...


Boy oh boy, bad nights sleep!
This morning (when I did wake up) I was so distracted 
(tired, clutter, steps to make tea/toast/boiled egg/butter for toast)
that I had to get rid of my first pot of tea
which was somehow only luke warm.
Hot tea was made sucessfully the second time!
Lunch helped some, a few hours later...




Chicken soup again... plus toast and hot decaf lady grey tea... that was good...


Made it to Confession, Vespers.
Before that, lots of cleaning, dishes, water spills, a hot shower...


My Sweet Husband treated me to a meal at our 
favourite diner... no meal prep, no dishes
And the evening was more peaceful; oh boy was I praying earlier
just to keep it together... (i.e. not become a cranky especially!)
The 2 week cold, the unbloggable...
and I saw a lovely man at vespers 
and that was the unexpected surprising 
ending towards the end of the day...
as my day was slowly turning around,
I was so sorry to hear that his wife, they just found out, has cancer; a total shock.
So we are praying for him, for her, got an Akathist to the Mother of God Healer of 
Cancer + one to St Luke the Surgeon for him ready to give him tomorrow DV.
This always tips the scales for me - in the right way - remembering the 
fragility of life, turning towards love and care for another person.
***
My Husband is so valiant, he keeps working towards better solutions for
our unbloggable situation and even though it's hard
and being sick has made everything seem harder,
I must say that I am proud of him in the midst of our 
personal hard.
***
And so today that was hard for me has a peaceful
more thoughtful end of the day...

It's good when a day has a peaceful ending.
Your blue and white tableware looks so attractive.
