Nothing to report.
Daniela couldn’t come – she’ll be here tomorrow. Helen popped in this morning
with the weekend Financial Times. Otherwise I’ve seen no one. There must be
lots of oldies who live alone for whom every day is like this. I’m very lucky.
I couldn’t sustain it.
C., who usually
comes at the weekend, is having sinus problems. She and I haven’t been to Mass
for months, but we still get the parish newsletter. It includes the Sunday
gospel for the week. The one received today begins, “The multitudes asked him, ‘What
then shall we do?’ And he answered them, ‘He who has two coats, let him share
with him who has none.’”
Which pretty well
answers the question about Daniela’s root canal work.
It's amazing to me how often guidance comes to us in tough situations, when we're open to it. The answer becomes clear in a flash.
ReplyDeleteI've just received a bag of hand-knit hats and baby blankets someone made to donate. Your message rings true. I brought the last bag to the family homeless shelter near me. The need is great and I'm sure I won't have any problems finding a home for these.
ReplyDeleteDaniela saving you from residential care is worth every penny! AND you save a friend from toothache, which in my opinion is the worst of all ailments.

I wholeheartedly agree.
