Hello! How are things today? It’s sunny and 8 degrees here. No real heat coming our way anytime soon, but sun is better than rain.
The eyes are coming along nicely. I can read most things without difficulty, and the computer letters aren’t dancing which is good since I have a book deadline this weekend and haven’t finished the edits. Interesting sidebar. There are way more stars visible to me in the sky the last couple of nights. I can see some of the familiar constellations, which is an unexpected bonus. I’m anxious to see how well I’ll see when we go whale-watching in June.
Today’s letter is T. There are many words that start with T. Someone’s already posted on tattoos, a practice I will never understand. Three of my five grandchildren have them, not that I had any say in the matter. To me it’s quite simple.
Other T words include trust and truth, although it seems hard to find much of either of those. I try to have faith that everything with work out as it should in the end, but the painful truth of it is that I’m not as confident about that as I once was. I trust our Prime-Minister, who is level-headed and doesn’t act like a spoiled brat, but I don’t trust the toddler with the nuclear codes and his entourage of sycophants who, like him, do not understand that you can’t discount something by more than 100 percent.
With no other option, I have to believe and trust the timing.
Timing is everything, and lately I feel as if my own timing is out of sync, not by choice, but by everything happening around me. Some things happen when you least expect them–like my cataract surgery. I certainly didn’t expect to have the surgery within two weeks of having my exam with the surgeon, although I’m thrilled with my progress so far.
But other things have happened that seem to steal time from me–or maybe, it’s just that I’m moving slower than I used to, thinking slower than I used to, and responding to change slower than I used to. I need to remember to take care of myself.
Finally, because laughter is as important as music, let me share the most terrifying moment of all.
