ERRORS

It was a good day on Monday but it was also fatiguing.

Stayed awake for the hockey game

but not to watch my show :Murdock at 8.

We seem to be going to bed very early as both of us feel tired,

Monday we went to the library and to Canadien Tire to get a new part to fix it.  As soon as we got home dad started working on it and I took Senser for another walk.

To day which is Tuesday dad went to the skin cancer doctor.  He had several spots burnt and returns for another appointment to have some surgical removal. Itisaspot onhis nose.  I had planned to go with him and then visit Joan.  Plans changed when I got the message my eye appointment was a 3.  The big error was that the appointment was in the eye clinic right next door not back at Dr. Zacks.

We arrived at the doctors office, Dr. Zack, but in extra pay because the wait usually is so long.  Again we are in the wrong place.  Dad is very cheerful about it all but it was discouraging.  Another long drive and another long wait.

I am choosing to be able to read without glasses if possible.  I will not be doing much driving anymore.

The morning traffic was very bad with a lot of accidents.  There is always a lot of traffic in Surrey now.

Time to stop and count my blessings!  I am thankful for our safe drive today, even though dad had a close call earlier in the day with a big truck running a red light.  He put on the gas and got out of the way.

We had a good visit.  Everything is set.

There was an invitation to have supper with Carol and Panteli but we did not get home until it was nearly 5.

As Bernie Segel says "Life can be like a labor pain
we are here to give birth to ourselves."

Learn to accept our own errors and the errors of others.

LIFE

Our old house with such a beautiful view brings back memories of walking down the path near our house deep into the woods. It was mafical. I went with many of the grandchildren and others to enjoy the quiet beauty and the huge trees and wild berries.

We also remember the night we were in bed under a pile of covers with no heat for several days and snow on the roof, when a flashing light appears outside and a man crawls up the roof right by our window to hook up our power. Dad opened the windown and grabbed one end to help him. We were thankful to have a warm house again and thankful for this brave young man working so hard and so late.


Life is a law unto itself. I woke up this morning with this thought on my mind and I wondered where it came from. Sometimes as I write my thoughts down I think maybe i read this somewhere or heard it before. But considering all the words that are being written and have been written can there be an truly original words.

Happiness is coming home and putting on my warm long underwear after having a hot cup of coffee and a bite to eat after the cat scan. They put a lovely warm blanket on me when I lay down on the machine bad to ride back and forth, breathing and not breathing. Waiting in the waiting area my teeth were chattering and I was sooo cold so this was like heaven. When she said it was over I hated to leave.

My dear hubby had gone out and bought me a warm sweater so I had that to put on. Everyday there is no news you know that it was alright or you would have heard. Dad is off to the skin cancer doctor to have something cut out. He is far braver than me.

Our question at home group was what do you tell people why you need Jesus? Without his presence his spirit his words I would be like the cowardly lion in Somewhere over the Rainbow. Or did he need a heart I cannot quite remember.

I breath in Jesus and I find hope and strength and guidance. He is like the lovely warm blanket that warms me up in this world that can be cold and hard hearted, where people destroy other people's lives by greed and violence and hate and just plain selfishness.

The Air India report is very chilling so sad when tragedy can be prevented.

Dad is off to skin doctor to have some cutting and stiching and sewing to get rid of cancer spots. I may go with him but basically planning a quiet day. Still feeling cold brrrrrrr
