I was going to say "miserable" Monday, but that was overly dramatic.
Not necessary. Things have been going a bit better the past 2 weeks.
I have found a better balance in myself, and am able to enjoy daily "me" time. Which is healing in itself.
(translation of the dutch: knowledge is to learn something new each day; wisdom is letting go of something each day)
It is a very typical February Monday, grey and misty outside. Feels extra cold, because of the water in the air.
As I biked into town, I could feel the mist droplets on my face, and hanging on my eyelashes. Biking these past few days has been actually quite the experience.
I have "adopted" the electric bike from hubby.
He has the car, to commute to work; so I borrowed his bike.
Luckily he has a "lady" version bike, so mounting myself on the seat, can still be done relatively gracefully.
My bum knees are VERY happy with this new bike. Minimal effort, and maximum speed and ease. I think I can get used to this, for doing small errands and a bit of groceries.
Today is a day that I am filling with silent prayers, and thoughts. Going out to my sister, who is having major surgery. Double mastectomies. And the beginnings of reconstruction. I raise her up, and carry her in my heart these coming hours. May the surgeons' hands and work be blessed with healing and skill.
Today is also one of joy and celebration. My "adopted" granddaughter is having her 5th birthday. The babe that I held in my arms 5 years ago....is a dancing delightful charming and thoughtful young lady. Her gift request humbled me. She didn't want anything for herself. What she does want, are gifts and donations to her local animal/pet shelter. Like her moms....she is an animal lover to the core. Nothing makes her happier, than seeing "her" pets cared for and happy. What a wonderful thing to do....at the age of 5. Makes me really curious (and proud) of what she will be thinking of for her next birthday.......
This was a mishmash of my meandering murmurings on this misty Monday......
