There seems to be a huge difference the way we address things.  I almost typed: another new week.  It had the sense of complaining.  When I typed: starting a new week, that sounded far more positive!

Saturday was a whirlwind.

Sunday was a mini-whirlwind with some surprises.

• 7:15 AM  Walk with the dogs
• 8:30 AM  Worked on musical
• 10:30 AM  Surprised by two former students who stopped and coaxed me into a long hike/picnic through Sugarcreek Reserve
• 2:00 PM  lunch and a quick shower
• 3:00-7:45 PM  Taught tlessons to my college students assigned to me
• 7:45-8:30 PM  Met friends, David & Mary, and their pooch, Malcolm, to go for a neighborhood walk
• 9:00 PM  supper with fresh veggies and worked on musical until 10:30 PM

I woke this morning, and just did not wish to get out of bed.  We started our walk at 6:45 AM, and upon our return, I checked the mailbox – despite knowing the postal carrier does not deliver so earlier – and found a delightful, touching surprise.  Joanie Pollock had made up a beautiful album filled with Flyer’s pictures through the years!  The kids and I sat on the front steps to look through the album together.  A beautiful way to start this new week!

THANK YOU, JOANIE!
