New Day

To loosely paraphrase Psalm 30:5, “Wallowing may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning.” I am feeling much better today. Thank you all for the positive energy I felt coming through blogland.

This morning I went to the pool and worked up a sweat in my water aerobics class. After all that exercise I went to lunch with a friend and we planned a baby shower we are giving for a friend next week. Just to make sure I would be feeling better I had a pedicure and had those ugly post menopausal chin hairs waxed away. Then I spent the afternoon helping a frail hospice patient and his wife get to a doctor’s appointment and then to the pharmacy. I got home just before a magnificent thunderstorm arrived. My beloved and I sat on our front porch and watched as the storm delivered much needed rain along with some powerful thunder. We enjoyed a quiet supper together. I am feeling the joy of many blessings and the dark shadows have retreated for another day.

I sometimes wonder if the dark times help us to see how bright the bright things really are when we finally notice them again. Does that make sense?

Sounds like you need a bunny! There's nothing cheerier than watching me run and hop around the room. I can changed direction in mid-air! And I'm very soft and love to be petted. Everyone loves to be around me and they say, "Awwww," which makes me squint my eyes and puff up even bigger. Everyone except Kitty that is...

Glad you are feeling better...I am too. I have been plagued with a cough for months and yesterday and today I actually feel quieter...will still see the lung specialist next month cough gone or not.
