It's been a whirlwind of a week. Started Sunday morning in Atlanta, made it home by dinnertime on Tuesday with my new dog girl (who may have been more tolerant of a couple of days in the car than I was!). And suddenly today I'm back on service. As worried as I was about Livvie's first "long" day by herself with the kitties, she did great. Evidently she had a super time with her walker today as well; I'm learning quickly how very smart this pup is too. Maybe a little too smart?!?
Today I am trusting that I'll easily work my way through my weekend "to-do" list. If someone can explain to me how I ended up with three talks to prepare for the upcoming few weeks, please let me know. Or maybe I need to practice "No" a little bit more.
Today I am grateful for a safe, uneventful cross-country trek with my Mom this week. Yes, Livvie was in Alabama. Yes, it was a long drive. Yes, I really appreciate her facilitation of my apparent insanity. I have to say that Livvie was worth the trouble.
Today I am inspired by Anne Lamott's musings for the day. I'm especially fond of this:
"If you want to have happy loving feelings, do loving things. That's the secret of life, whether you are at all Jesusy or not."
Indeed, I believe it is.
Now listening: Jason Isbell "Alabama Pines"- in honor of driving past Wayne's last Sunday afternoon.Labels: TGIF
