To be unbothered no matter what!☀️🙏🏻

Derm’s AI creations!! Comedic!! No, I was not thrilled to be taking leave of my wonderful family. Never!! Holy Mass every morning in their respective Churches. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament too. Time with my precious grandchildren. Scintillating sharings with their parents. Copious prayers shared. Countless enjoyable impromptu encounters. 

My holiday begins as I step outside of my own front door and not when my destination is reached. Every tiny thing is pure gift! Every journey a holiday no matter the circumstance, issue or trial.

Back home in bed now with laryngitis. No talking. No singing either. Silence is golden. We never miss the water till the well runs dry!!

Barely whispering with dear John about God’s divine gift of detachment. ‘Yes’, he replies gently; ‘To be unbothered no matter what’. True! Self preoccupation is the equivalent to misery!

Seemingly, guy one time, near here, earned himself the nick name; ‘Optician’. His conversations beginning and ending with ‘I’ every time and without fail.

‘I had a little tea party this afternoon at three. T’was very small - three guests in all, I, myself and me. Myself ate all the sandwiches, while I drank all the tea, t’was also I who ate the pie and passed the cake to me’. (Jessica Nelson North). 

Derm’s childhood school poem. Fond memory. I could only recall the first line. Kind Google!

Claude 🐈‍⬛ lives in hope! He expects me to return and I do every time. Free-range, Claude copes fine as all cats do but his delightful visits fill me with hope without measure!!

Thank you God for EVERYTHING.
