The days are passing quickly. We spent last week pretending to be beach bums. The peace and quiet (not counting the roar of the ocean!) were just what we all needed. I listened to 2 books on cd and read 4 -- the best of which was "Let Me Hear your Voice: A Family's Triumph over Autism."Before we left, David's Dad had a series of health problems. He continues to weaken and be a concern. David made a quick trip to visit him just days before our departure. Needless to say, by the time we reached Emerald Isle, he was exhausted.
My leg was xrayed Friday and shows minimal healing at best. So it's another 6 weeks of physical therapy and bone stimulation every evening. I'm getting around more, for which I'm grateful. I've returned to my volunteer work which is a source of joy. I move more slowly these days but I'm grateful to be moving!
Matt's wedding is quickly approaching: 2 weeks from tomorrow. We're all caught up in preparations and anticipation. Everyone asks so I'll tell you: I do have a dress! I'm preparing part of the rehearsal dinner and currently 'auditioning' recipes. I still need to find shoes that will accomodate my problem; that's on the agenda for this week.
I'm very excited that my Mom and sister, Nancy, are coming and staying for a couple of days after the wedding.
I've started reading through the Psalms, 3 a day, and journaling. I've been reading them off and on for 40 years but somehow, this time, they speak to me in new ways that have really touched my spirit and lightened my heart.
