A “birthday party” for me yesterday afternoon: two friends, flowers, cards, cake, maple walnut ice cream. Not sure why, but emphasis was placed on that last choice, so I’m curious about its association in my husband’s head. My own association was thinking briefly about birthday parties in my childhood and that I’ll never have a party again. Then there it was, and he intended a surprise party, which I squashed when I announced I was taking Red to walk around the Christmas lights in the park. He had to tell me why I had to come home by 3:00. That’s ok. I don’t like that kind of surprise and found myself considering whether I really wanted to be there. How odd. Internal considering when people are doing me a kindness! Bottom line: I saw my curmudgeon part clearly in play, but hope they all did not. I truly thank them all, especially my spouse, for their consideration.
My sitting/practice preceeded the writing today. The blog is lodged too firmly in intellect to d otherwise, I think.
A reminder of my hesychast prayer: Lord have mercy, God have mercy.
And my add ons: Lord bless. Especially my beloved ones whom we both know without naming: peace, health, prosperity, relationship, your divine love
Thank you Jesus and your holy Trinity for all and everything
