ONGOING

Dad has taken the old fence down as it was falling down with the snow and wind.  The work will be on going for a long time.  A mess to be cleaned up and taken away.


Signs of the ongoing work in the garden too.
We had a meaningful visit with Vera and Howard.  Dad told about getting lost in the Water Shed park and then we talked of other things; but as we said good-bye he said now do not get lost going home!  We treat him with respect as we would like to be treated.  Both dad and I recognize how import it is for our brains to keep functioning so that we can remember and also that we can speak what we want to say.

I am finishing my mystery story called "The Fatal Winter" I have two choices of books to read.

 The one book is called "Still Alice" that is a heat breaking but beautiful story about Alzheimer's.  A story about reality and a misunderstood disease.  We grow old and we change but deep inside we are still us!  I think that is what is important when we visit our elderly friends.


The other book is called "The Misunderstood Jew"  by Amy-Jill Levine.  I like the one quote that says: "Belief is like love, it cannot be compelled.  It does not rest on logical argument or historical proof.

To understand either of these topics I need to learn more.

"Differences between Jews and Christians derive only from different sacred scriptures, historical memories and lived experiences."

"The divorcing of Jesus from Judaism does both a disservice to each texturally, historically and ethically."

At the end of the day when all has been said and done ":Be yourself, everyone else is taken,"  -Demi Lovato

Dad went for a walk in the woods and I had a nap when we got home so I am adjusting to the lack of energy and doing my walking and reading and enjoying a slower pace so this may just be ongoing!

I believe in some mystical way Jesus fills our hearts and souls with love that has always been there but we have ignored it this is a comfort to me.
