Monday after.

 The beginning of a week not starting with an 8:20 visit with my guardian angels.  Their work goes on and on with people to fill my slot along with other slots at the Swartz Cancer Center.   I will remember the parade that never ends.  My church friend Angie will have her first appointment there Tuesday.  Susan continues her long journey to health.  

It was so rewarding to see church friends again yesterday .  Visiting was the subject of the morning.   The afternoon was a quiet one with lots of sitting on the patio along with some watering of my dear friends. I  took another drive with another chipmunk friend making a delivery to the park.  While I had one in the trap, another climbed the tree.  This is also a parade that never seems to end. .  This week should see rain every day.  What a gift.   

Today's biggie is seeing my surgeon  at Swartz Cancer Center.  So although it's not an 8:20 visit it will be an  11:45 visit.  So back with friends once again with the goal of discovering if more treatment is needed.  I'm looking forward to capturing my body again.  

The week seems full with places to and appointments to keep.  

This is a day of new beginnings, time to remember and move on, time to believe what love is bringing, laying to rest the pain that's gone. 

 For by the life and death of Jesus, God's mighty Spirit, now as then, can make for us a world of difference, as faith and hope are born again.  

Then let us, with the Spirit's daring, step from the past and leave behind our disappointment, guilt, and grieving, seeking new paths, and sure to find.  

Christ is alive, and goes before us to show and share what love can do.  This is a day of new beginnings, our God is making all things new. 

Found in our UM Hymn book words by Brian Wren, written to music by Carlton R Young.  An I U music professor.  

I am so grateful for music and words that come to me as I walk the journey with you, my readers and all those who have surrounded me with swaddling prayer

    And that is one of my favorite of recent hymns! (although, when I actually do a little computing, it is really not so recent - but it is one of the ones I fell in love with, when the hymnal first came out a couple of years ago). [Please be merciful and do NOT tell me that it came out more than a couple of years ago: just so you don't have to, I looked it up: the hymnal was published in 1989 and Young wrote the music in 1984. At my age, that is a couple of years ago.]

    I'm looking forward to reading about today's doctor visit - prayers ascending.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the s...

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer....
