I drove to Council Grove to meet a dear friend for lunch. We visited for over 2 1/2 hours. My soul needed our conversation today. It was a beautiful drive through the hills today. The grass is so green that it hurts your eyes. I love spring in the Flint Hills.
I came home and took a chair nap. After I woke up I went and laid down on my bed and read for a bit. I needed some quiet time this afternoon.
We got a few sprinkles this afternoon. Areas around us got some good rain but we got the consolation prize of sprinkles and thunder. Bet there was a rainbow if I could have seen the horizon.
I have a visitation to go to tomorrow evening. I will stop and get a few groceries when I am done. Friday I have a free day. I am going to bake a batch of cookies to take to the rally on Saturday. I’ll do a double batch and take some to Tagen, Jason and Michelle. I haven’t baked cookies for a long time.
Saturday I am meeting a friend for lunch and then we are going to the rally in Council Grove. It will be another fun day.
Kathy leaves Saturday afternoon to go to Wichita. She is spending the night at our cousin’s house and then has an early flight on Sunday to DC. She is going on the Veterans Honor Flight. She will be home Wednesday. I will have dog duty while she is gone.
I am having trouble making anything important this evening. Sometimes I have to let go and allow. When I do that, nothing feels important. I stepped into watching my life as if it is a movie and I have no control over what is happening next. I am along for the ride. I have no idea what is going to happen next and for some reason that feels good.
Grateful for lunch and a deep conversation with a dear friend today, grateful to be able to let go, and grateful for whatever happens next in my life.
