I truly appreciate our conversations. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt reflections.
Reflection #49 My Body Feel more aches & pains, affected by the weather often. But generally have had good health up until now. Knock on wood. I know I need to be more intentional about exercise. -F
I love the photo. I exercise routinely and eat healthy meals. Limit alcohol. Still I find it at times difficult to control my weight. I also have had to come to terms with diminishing strength as I age -D
Reflection #48 Death and Love Your call with your grandmother reminded me of a phone call I received last year, from my brother who later died in December. He called a few months before to say he was calling to thank me "for all the help I had given him." I quickly racked my brain to think what actual "help" I had been that year - or ever, for that matter. I sadly realized that he was saying goodbye to me.
I officiated at his funeral in December. The dual role of clergy and sister is both an honor, and "a tough gig." --F
Reflection #42 Simple Lessons I have printed this out. I can't begin to tell you how much your guidance in helping me get through this winter. I have your little messages tacked up all around my desk. They will also help me navigate the next 4 years! Hope to see you and Dale on the 1st! --H
Patricia, I love the joy you spread with your gentle smile and attentiveness to the details of life. My heart soars with your example. I hope someday my life can bring hope, joy, and companionship to others! Many blessings and much love on your journey --C
