Think Quick! It came so close to raining.

Snow still lingers in the mountain, and the weather has been so volatile. Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in daily and local concerns. I took off a few danys from the computer and missed most of the tornado stories. I was aware of the cyclones, and the China earthquake. So many prayers are needed. So many people have died again. At least aid will get to the places in need…perhaps not the outpouring for local disasters. I watered the garden this morning, answered messages and needed to leave quickly for the next, unexpected event. Got some free stuff discarded by a thrift store, and took a box of books to the nearby senior center. Brought presents to a few friends, and tried to consider ways to help an ailing friend of one of my closest friends. Odd day filled with joy and concern. Thanks goodness for the pool and sauna and Feldkrist class.

We need room for expanded hearts. My minister used to comment when things get so absurd we know what to pray for. Thus I take up the charge one more time. Ever wonder what is enough? Could I be more, give more, etc? The answer is to live each day with compassion to care for those we can and reach out when time is right. Bless all of you whom are active in your community and have time to give joyfully. Also take care of yourself too. Watched some TV with a friend. It so quickly blurs the vision from ways to work or help others. Bit in brain fog. I am glad Hillary won. I admire her stamina. I am glad for irises blooming.

I am glad for the food I eat and my cats, and the brillance of life in nature. I can do only so much. good night.
