Spring has swung by and the cleaning has started at long last but still so far behind. The heavy rain and things going wrong damped my spirits a lot. But in the clearing up I got to opening mail from February. Yes I know it's May now. Perhaps it is the reality of how low and depressed I got this last winter. I survived and now I found a cheque which is a bequest from my Uncle Eric who passed away almost 3 years ago. A dear man who was my godmother's husband... so in many ways was a godfather. Anyhow watch this space to how carefully I will use it to remember him.Sunshine brings hope, grace last week with another year under the belt and a couple of little meals with students to celebrate quietly. A bizarre moment when you discover that a student is exactly 31 years younger!
What synchroncity! What a divine moment of care with someone I have been caring for in difficult times! Life goes forward. Sometimes it sucks and I get really wet but at least for moments the sun comes out.
A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
