Yesterday was a wonderful day of leisure and doing whatever I wanted to do. I worked on my oil painting and it is actually beginning to look pretty good. There is a lot more to do on it but it takes time. I, also, looked through old family photos and writings, which was so interesting. It was rather bittersweet to see pictures and read journals of loved ones who are not longer living. Memory is such a wonderful gift of love. Have you ever thought about how the mind works when a little nugget is reviewed? It is as though you are reliving that instant again, experiencing the same feelings that you felt at that time and hearing the voices..... Yes, memory is so very wonderful. I am thankful for memory.
This has been a busy day filled with various and sundry things. Water aerobics and then the ladies birthday luncheon at a very nice restaurant. I think there were about twenty-two present. A number of us went to the viewing of our little 95 year old Roberta, who died three days ago. She had been doing so well and feeling great and then she took her last breath. She had planned (the day before she died she said, "I will be there.") to attend the birthday luncheon. It is so wonderful that she wasn't really ill.
It is so difficult to realize that it is October and this year will soon be gone. This is a monumental year and all the changes in government, market etc will go down in the annals of history. I am praying that the events of the coming weeks will be in order so that the journals will be happy things. Our nation is so in need of God's help for the election.
It is growing late and I simply must retire. Thank you for reading. I hope to write more interesting things another day. Blessings to all.
