Tension and stress play a role in all our lives. Our opinions are based on what we think may be helpful. There is a time to discuss how we feel but times to just let things rest.
Ken went out shopping but was unable to find the things his son wanted. It is hard to find just what we want sometimes.
Dad tried to download my camera but he was not successful.
I was watching the birds swooping out of our trees to eat the bird food. The big crows came first as a family and then a woodpecker so brightly coloured came next. Then the little birds took their turns. There was plenty for them all.
They calmly took their turns.
I feel like I am getting a cold which I have fought off the germs that were all around me.
I built my faith on the facts that I was taught but now I can see the errors in a lot I believed which could have caused a theological meltdown except that my views have calmly changed over the year.
My faith is not built on a literal collection that is like a science or a history but on a search for the meaning that lies beyond human wisdom deeper than we know.

I just watched a Netflix show called something like "Everything Sucks". It had an interesting line "we are all the heroes in our own story, so that probably means we are the villain in someone else's" Something along those lines.
No flight booked for Kenny yet?
It was a tense drive home, the roads really quickly got bad and as I got close to home on highway 17 two cars in front of me started to slide all over the road. I keep far enough back that I did not have to hit my breaks and they were able to straighten up and slow down, as they were driving too fast for the conditions.
Glad I only have one more drive home tonight and then the weekend off, have not heard if we are expecting more snow or not. Randy is on days so has been very long commutes for him as well.

It is lovely to watch the birds feeding. It is a shame that so many species of song birds are falling in numbers!
Theological meltdowns, and other meltdowns, should be avoided at all costs.
I am fussing with my income tax return information. Like to get my refund as soon as possible.
Love,

Oh boy, talk about tension and stress driving in Vancouver's snowy highways. I would much rather do that in Winnipeg, where we all know how to drive on ice and snow ( I should qualify that by saying MOST)and we are prepared as well. We have driven #1 in from Hope a few times in those conditions and it was scary! I am sure there are some drivers in Vancouver who know how to drive in bad conditions, but there are many who don't! Some don't even bother to clean the ice and snow off their cars and just have a tiny peep hole to peek through...
I am sure Randy and Sandra know all about winter driving from living in Edmonton!
People were nuts in Winnipeg yesterday. Gas was .96 at the Co-op and that is where we unknowingly got caught up in the line ups. We always gas up there. People were almost getting in fights to line up. Inside two ladies got in an intense argument over who was #6! Like REALLY? Another man and woman got into a fender bender and were arguing in the store and here was me...half in the store and half out because the line up was so long to pay! YIKES. the more I see of the city the more I love my quiet life here.
Carl's bladder cancer has progressed to large tumors now and he needs to have surgery..not just the scraping away of the cancer. The surgeon took one look and didn't do anything yesterday. She is booking him for surgery in April. Hopefully the cancer will be located in just the lining of the bladder wall and hasn't metastasized to other areas. So not good news. But we remain positive.
I really liked how expressed how your faith has changed over the years, as mine has too. I felt comfortable in my early teachings for many years and always had a strong faith, but now know much of it was wrong. Searching for new meaning has taken me a long time...but I am comfortable now with what I believe. I do not believe in religion....but do know there is a higher power at work in our lives...I see it, feel it, breathe it and live it.
Is Ken going home soon? It sure is nice to have him there to help you look for a new place to live and also for Larry's birthday. Having our son here is such a comfort too.
Was it a "big" birthday for Larry...the number 80? Carl will be 80 in August. gosh the time flies doesn't it?
Well it is lunch time here...so I will wish you a wonderful day today. Hope you get out for a walk with Ken.
Love to all,
Nancy
