Valentines Day

Well another Valentines Day has come to a close. Church was full of the colors pink and red, and the children sermon was about how the church tells time and the putting away of the word"alleluia" until Easter. I like to listen to the children's message as I often sense more from it. We celebrated Valentines Day with lunch out and Platelets donation in Dedham at the Red Cross Center and then over to Bay Point in Brockton to visit Jim's mom. I sense my mom's gratefulness that she didn't need long term care.

I'm reading a book about early onset Alzheimer's and it is disturbing to see it from all sides. The husband and kids, and the woman feeling herself slowly disappearing. It brings a new understanding of the fear surrounding this diagnosis, and also a new energetic livng in the moment. Love and let it be known!!

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.

Well Patti and I went to see Avatar this afternoon. It was fantastic! The colors and scenery were mesmerizing. Interesting to live in two worlds and not want to come back into what you thought was reality. I must admit there were tears and I felt anger and disgust but, best of all I left feeling full and entertained and uplifted. It has been awhile since I want to the movies, so this was good.
