The predicted weather changed for the better
- After days of thick fog, the fog lifted and the sun shone all day when people would be traveling to a memorial service
Visiting with old friends after we had gathered to remember the life and example of our friend who passed away
Last year’s calendar that shows all my doctor appointments
Discovery that all the homes or apartments where I have ever lived are still there with the exception of one farm home which was not in very good shape when I lived there as a young child
A friend who thought of me when she decided to part with a lined woolen skirt because it no longer fit her
Spa music like this one by Peder B. Helland
My mother who noted dates and places on the backs of photos or on pages in photo albums years ago
Drives through the countryside

Seeing two beautiful, mature bald eagles on the ground feasting on their prey while several immature bald eagles were waiting their turn (Unfortunately there was no place to pull over to take a photo.)
A friend who joined me on a walk at a wildlife refuge one sunny day
Last and first of all, my husband who brings laughter and joy daily to my life

that is always an interesting exercise, (Item 4)... especially the places from the earliest of times, the ratios and proportions are almost always out of sync with memory.
ReplyDeleteour weather is beginning to moderate as well plus...plus! the days are still light at nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Yes! The proportions are way out of kilter. The houses seemed a lot bigger to me when I was living in them as a child.
DeleteI like it much better when it is still light between 5 and 6 pm.
I'm so sorry you're in pain. Not easy to ignore.
ReplyDeleteA lovely omen the sun shining on the day of your friends memorial service.
Oh, I so wish the old family pictures I have had dates and places on them. You are very lucky :)
The countryside looks beautiful!
Thanks, Denise. I know many have had, or are still having, their own bouts with pain.
DeleteSeeing all that dense fog in the days before the memorial seemed so ominous, and I so wanted the family to have better memories of being together that day. It turned out perfect!
Lots of thankfuls for personal history, so very nice.
