Good Sunday Morning

Looking forward to some outstanding worship music at Lisa's church this morning.

Lovely neighbors filled the living room for the birthday brunch yesterday, and the food was delicious. And then the sail on the Potomac. The weather couldn't have been more pleasant, and it was fun. A friend of Lisa's went along as assistant skipper. She returned with us for a quiet evening at home and a piece of the birthday cake.

I've been thinking more about life's intermingling of "all things" good and bad. I think sometimes when we hit a dark patch, we get in the habit of closing our eyes and holding our breath and going on standby until the lights come on again. But now I'm trying to learn to keep my eyes open, keep on breathing, and look for joy and grace in everything. The good and the bad are with us always, intermingling for our good.

We'll be heading home immediately after church. (It hurts to leave so soon.) Chemo is first thing tomorrow morning.

Grace to you,
Carol
