Just putting one foot in front of the other.
I woke up this morning in a pondering mode. As I lay in bed, I reflected upon the week and asked myself what I had learned, what I had accomplished, what value had I given back to those around me, and what I could have done better.
I didn't really come up with much. Then I dug a little deeper. What I did, may not have appeared to be important, life changing, or monumental to myself, but maybe they were to someone else. Who knows. For me it was just a normal week. I did what I knew was required of me and helped where I could.
Sometimes, life is that way. I realized that I don't have to be entertaining or be entertained all the time. I just have to be doing. Did I neglect to do things that I should have? Probably. Did I forget to follow through on something that was important to someone or something that they had asked me to do? Probably. The bad part is that I still don't remember what they were, but I am working on it.
On the flip side, I think it is important to note those things that I did do. I made note of those people I did assist, even if it was just part of my job or stewardship. I did strive everyday to be a little better. I was able to share moments, conversation, sadness, mourning, and joy with many within whom I associate with and serve. Though they did not seem to be profound, they were valued.
I think we all need to take the time to reflect on such life happenings. I have been inspired.
After I reflected, I resolved to be better in the week to come. I found myself in my knees asking for help to be more patient, understanding, and compassionate. I will continue to seek charity in my life. Then I got up and started another Sabbath day. I am grateful for those opportunities.
It has been a good week. Though I did not feel like I did much, I guess there was a lot going on.
The Queen is making a great deal of head way on holiday gifts. It has been kind of slow at work. At time she is glad she is in her craft room while working. She continues to balance many plates and does not seem to have lost any as of late. Well, I guess there were the magnets, but she improvised and made it work.
The Professor started her dual role as student this week. It was a little stressful, but doable. I hope she is looking back on the week and reflecting on all that she has accomplished in light of all the other things that were going on her life.
Tall Man was in and out this week. He is busy constructing sets and doing finishing work on those that have been completed. Opening for his show is next week. It will make for a busy September. He also learned that the new owners of his complex have decided to raise rent soon. I think it is to pay for the re-paving of their parking lot. He was already stretching with the current fees, so it looks like he is shopping for something different. If all goes well, he would like to re-locate north so he can start school at WSU in January. The hunting begins.
SnackPack has been burning the candle a booth ends for the past couple of weeks. It finally caught up with him when someone on the team got sick. The bug has been passed and he is having a hard time fighting it off. He spent most of one day this week trying to recover and hopes to get increase his recovery this weekend as we have all re-treated for one last Hooray of the summer.
Other than that, we are good. The sun keeps rising and setting. We are grateful to be moving right along with it each day.
We hope that you are all being blessed in the same way.
Caio!
