What say we?

 

A trail

Rainy morning. Short early walk with Red. Fond goodbye to young Henniker who moves to GNG today. “ we already have a trail to Grandparent’s house “

June 24 post

                    

Monday 3pm. Summer days in Tickville

Much occurs to trip internal reactions. I need thee every hour. Grant me patience and understanding and energy. IJN
How fast these days fly by. I do not wish them to pass faster yet shove time away and feel that conflict physically in my head and chest.
  Met EP. Turns out I’m moderately depressed. Scored 14 whatever scale that’s on
    Pretty sure I intended this post for my other blog and somehow lost my comment for 6-24

Faithless

 

Path with ticks

Lee van Laer, Substack daily five today, to receive goodness:

I breathe it in with praise and thanksgiving. I breathe out with praise and thanksgiving. 

The whole body and all of its cells and molecules rest here in praise and thanksgiving. 

Prepared to receive this day and the goodness that is in it as a sacred thing. 

Lord, I call to thee from the depths of mine iniquity. 

I have not delivered myself sufficiently unto thee. 

I know not how.

Lists and plans

 

Darling boy in daisies
  First, the crazy dream:  set up some kind of grid, and I sprinkled with broccoli florets instead of rose petals. Constructed a copper tubing tree with a wreath and square device in branches. Shiny. Realized for church fair. Partner— Bobbi?— crushed a fingertip. Realize I can’t fix it, go to ER.  Returned to work.  Snowing. Flattened sculpture, hung it on building wall. Thought no one will come to fair, but a few old ladies were going in and out, smiling at me. I picked up my car like a suitcase to park closer, by church door. Ally, workspace, workman “oh, where Carolyn Lambert used to park to churchdoor.” I to the sport court I was preparing but no need to remove broccoli, snow was covering it; copper tree was stretched and blackened and destroyed by vandals. I shit myself, went to mammaw’s house to shower, but so had she and B. So I had to wait to clean up, but did so. End of dream, No parsing. 

Good talk with I, planning his day and his life the topic, writing it down in his notes. He walked into town. I went to Dr. we went to GW bins-Yuch-and Gorham mid town trail. Visit with L. He played piano for us. Cooked leftovers dinner in 20 minutes, including the special steak and stuffed baked potatoes made by L and C. Quick barbell workout. Finished his daily chore, dusting. He is very amenable.  

  Thank you Jesus for such a full and fine day. So satisfying. IJN

Solstice

 

Departure 6-27-26

… is not equilibrium. Big talk on walk with I and Red At dog park during unsettled weather. Lord, I feel so unsettled generally, even occasionally afraid of dying. L says C is slipping cognitively and I feel like that’s me too. this is the longest day of the year, but life and time seem so short

Jesus guide and abide with me and my suffering kin. IJN

TYJ again

Never gets old

 That’s all from the moment. I feel blessed especially after slogging through the stresses of the day.
