It's very late -- for me anyway. I've spent most of the afternoon and evening writing a long paper on Thomas Merton, and I'm still a little wound up. The cat just came racing through the room, after what I neither know nor want to know.
Little things that were good today:
taking my time about getting up
meeting friends for breakfast
my daughter curled up in bed with a book for most of the afternoon
blue sky and sunshine
the neighbor's gorgeously glossy black cat in the kitchen window
a phone conversation with a much-missed son.
My stepmother's 12 brain lesions loom large on my mind. Yesterday I sent her six new hats for when her hair falls out, and today I went to Moto-Photo and picked up stacks of pictures from this year's canoe trip to Canada so that I can make a scrapbook for her. But I just keep thinking that if she dies, she won't be back. I have a lot of experience with that concept, but I can't see that it gets any more acceptable.

I really like your good things list, they are all warm and cozy.
You are so wonderful to be doing those things for your stepmom. I bet she will really appreciate them.
My heart breaks for your family. I'm certain she will enjoy and cherish the scrapbook.
I'm sorry Robin. {{{{{{{{{ }}}}}}}}}}}

I am so sad to hear about your stepmother. I will keep her and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
