nurture relationships

THAT IS RELATED…

i’m so grateful for every phone call…..

I got word mid-afternoon, and promptly called her till I found her, a couple of cities away, doing all the practical things one must do when one is the only competent offspring of an alcoholic.

Talking a few minutes was enough for me to know she is okay. We will catch up more when she gets home. But it made me feel better to touch base with her, and she said it meant the world to her that I called.

I swear to you, this woman is a saint, really. She has the warmest heart I have ever known. If you have a little space in your prayers tonight, please pray for her to have PEACE—something she utterly deserves.

at mid-day, which felt very decadent. We went for a walk, designed to make her overdue baby decide to get born….although it hasn’t happened yet. I so feel her pain. But it was great to see her house and the baby’s room-to-be.

and I’m so glad I TRIED, you know? So many people said I looked nice that I think I should put on a dress more often!

for a friend having a baby. Yea!

Friday night! Yea! It’s Girls Sleepover Party!!!

February was a long, packed month, with little time for 43 things, but I always miss y’all! But after wrecking my car, achieving my dream of buying a convertable, being stalked, 2 business trips, 2 MRIs, one CT scan, 2 root canals, 7 doctor’s appointments, 1 unnecessary cancer work-up…..I’m ready to be back!

So goes life!

I think J and M are going to go with me for my girl’s performance next month….

I saw some wonderful friends. But also, since I’m back from sabbatical, I’m seeing colleagues more, and I think we are going to organize a dinner club-type thing….
