Warm Days

We are having bright sunshine and heat. Some of the chemo I have received makes me sun sensitive so I have to be careful. But it does feel wonderful to sit outside, to eat outside, and to watch the boats. Luckily, our house cools down at night so we have not been too hot.

My priest's final Sunday was today. He is finally retiring for the second time. I wasn't up for going but I sent my family in my place. And Father Peter came by for a visit afterwards. I will miss him but I like our new priest so it will all work out. Besides, I can call him anytime as a friend though Mother Cynthia is my official priest now for pastoral care.

While my family was gone, I read the paper and fell asleep. It was quiet except for the birds and a nice breeze off of the water. I noticed this ad in the paper for phytoplankton guaranteed to cure terminal cancer and of course, there was a testimonial. You know, I can understand the desperation but it makes me sad that crooks are out there making money off of people's angst.

Again, I am just so grateful for all of the gifts. I have received books, sudoku, pillows, an afghan, chocolates, and a package from a dear old friend where I am supposed to open one little package each day. Cherry, in Kansas City, your letter to me was about as perfect as it could be. I have appreciated it so much.

Well, I am off to go outside again with a glass of iced tea.

Reading about you as you bird watch makes me want to share. On Thursday, I saw a baby bald eagle stand on the edge of the nest and flap and reach and stretch its wings for many minutes. The day was beautiful, the sun was warm, and the view must have been tremendous. I so enjoyed witnessing this. You are exhibiting the same strength and will. Thinking of you on this lovely day.

Hi Janet(from your cousin Phyllis in Deer Lodge)!
My goodness, I had intended to send you a note much sooner, but it has been quite busy here.

Your Mom connected me to your blog and shared about the challenge you are facing. I have been praying faithfully for God to strengthen you and to give you wisdom. What a comfort that Almighty God is perfect love and perfect wisdom and that He loves you deeply.

The older I get, the more I appreciate and meditate on Psalm 139 "O Lord, You have searched me and You know me. . .even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast. . .Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." God bless you, Janet.

There is nothing like a clear sunny day in the northwest. The colors, shapes, smells infuse us with energy and rejuvenate all our senses. I think of you today with the sun, the phenomenal view you have of the sound, the miracles of creation around you and your guardian eagles and want to burst out the songs "God is Watching us" and "What a Wonderful World".

Phyllis, my Mom said you had found my blog. Thank you for the kind words--I like the words of that psalm.
