Each day holds enough for a lifetime and I am ever more aware of that as a morning paper addict. In my small world, these are the things that occupy this day.
- packing for our trip to the Middle East (4 more sleeps!)
- fertilizing the veggie beds
- laying bark mulch around the rhodos
- praying, more pleading, for little Maya who, at 4 1/2 months is in critical condition in the ICU
- remembering our days in the ICU and picturing Brent and Lisa at Maya’s bedside, exhausted and hanging on to what feels like a filament of hope
- gathering library board books in anticipation of Gabrielle’s visit this weekend
- getting my eyes checked
- sharing lunch with my girlfriends
- figuring out where I went wrong on my in-progress knitting project
- facebooking about the gluten-free possibilities of Epicure
- making a connection between my friend who needs help with someone who helps
- taking the garbage out
- donating to the local thrift shop
- tossing up my current favourite salad of boccicini, tomato and basil
- reading The Sparrow
…and so it goes.
Compassion, creativity and community.
Today.
