MOODS

                                               A little snow a little sunshine changes our moods

Yesterday had been cold and windy.  I get ready for the party in a calm mood.  Nick and Derena are the first to arrive.  Smiling and carrying flowers and a plate of fruit.  We were happy to see them and we knew they were happy they had come.

Pat and John arrived complaining about the cold and looking unhappy.  

They brought dad his favorite cake, which is Black Forest Cake.

They did warm up a bit and I was glad to see their mood change.  We have shared many good times in the past. Our experiences at church have created a common bond.  The years have changed us and that is to be expected.  We will always be close friends and make any effort to share birthdays with coffee and tea and cake.

Ken phoned.  A stressful time to be letting people come in to look through your house, especially when this happened so fast.  There have been two offers.  We will wait to hear.

A quiet day with only a trip to the library planned.

Reading is so important in my life.  It opens my mind to other worlds and knowledge also is good to deepen my spiritual life too.
