Life is short, spring into action and live today’s beginning
Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted
but getting what you have, which once you have got it
you may be smart enough to see is what you would
have wanted had you known.
Garrison Keillor
What we have is amazing--the trick is, though, in recognizing just how amazing it is. And once we realize that, it's important that we see just how fully the things we have meet our current needs
GOOD MORNING !
IT IS FINALLY F R I D A Y !
Lots of people have off work today as it a very solemn and holy day for Christains all over the world. But since one of my bosses retired and the other is on vacation, I am working. Holding the fort down they say. Someone has to be there .
A winter storm watch is once again in effect and I’m wondering just how I can be smart enough to see the good in this for sure. I know there is a reason for it and I should consider that the good Lord must have a better plan, but you know I’ve been praying for nicer weather and those prayers are going unanswered for sure.
Last night I went to our Holy Thursday services at church which is a celebration of the Last Supper and our Pastor humbly washed the feet of several of our parishioners. It was a beautiful service and I’m glad I got to go. Especially so, since I won’t be making it to church today.
I made it out to put some Easter flowers on my Mom and Dad’s graves after work yesterday and after work today I’ll try and make it to my DDH’s grave to do the same. It just seems so strange to be putting out Easter flowers with snow coming down.
Tomorrow I’m supposed to travel down to DS#1’s so I can celebrate with them. My DDIL #1 becomes a member of our Church at the Easter Vigil Service Saturday night. This is such a special time for them and you know me I always want to be in on the celebration.
The good Lord only knows if I’ll make it. The storm coming our way will be the deciding point. We’ll see…
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean
he don't care
Some of Gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

May your day be filled with blessings
As new as Spring
As fragrant as flowers
As full as your heart can hold.
