Another gift of a beautiful morning.

 There is nothing  much better than sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee, watching the birds and feeling the coolness of the morning  with the sun coming through filtering trees.  The only other thing happening is eating breakfast which is not going so well.  But I managed an egg and a half with cottage cheese and half of a banana.  Woo..big breakfast.  I smelled the banana to trick my taste bud brain connection.  Strange how that works.  But at least there is something in my stomach at this point.  

Today is Bread and Bowl Saturday at church.  We'll be putting together 50 lunches for neighborhood fooks to take home with them.  Always a great time to work with  other church friends and visiting with church neighbors as they stop by.  I look forward to those times.  

Yesterdays shopping trip to the grocery included a lot of food purchased for camping time.  Got to get ready and still to buy...pancake mix and syrup.  How could I forget that.  The JB family always spends breakfast with us and it has  been such fun thinking back years ago when  the boys were little sitting at the table in the booster chair clip to the end of the table..  Now such big guys but still enjoyable times with Adam taking that same spot in a grown up lawn chair. My head and heart are in the U P of Michigan already.

Yesterday's dentist visit was a bit of a surprise.  It was a cleaning visit and  made with some mental difficulty one might say.  When sitting in the chair and teeth being cleaned the feeling of the mask came back loud and clear.  And it was not a good feeling perhaps because I wasn't prepared for the mental work I had done while masking.  With a few breaks I twisted my thinking in to vacation time...I could imagine the water of Lake Superior some times angry and some times not, Pebble Beach, breakfast, visiting with friends and more.  I made it through.  So...there is a bit of surprising fragility still with me.   I will keep that in mind.   

So today should be back to a more normal routine.  What a blessing.  And I will be aware of what might need a bit of mental work.  Peace and joy wishes are being sent to you all.  I am healing.
