DH 2 Travelers: The downside and the UPside of my morning

The downside and the UPside of my morning

I'm posting this, this morning, 'cause I myself could use a little "pick me up". Dreading this doctor appointment, knowing I have to run upstairs and get dressed and be there for a 9 am ... and seriously NOT wanting to go - not today, not ever, not for this one. Doc says "it will be unpleasant" in my world = "this is going to be one miserable procedure". Hoping I am pleasantly surprised, though {okay, maybe that's a stretch, hoping for "pleasant" at the urologist's office}.

OOOOHHHH, I just got a call from our friend Chelsea, and she's at the hospital with her brand new baby girl and I can stop in to see her AFTER my appointment. Now THAT will make it all bearable. Yes, it will.

You see - one just has to ask, and God delivers.

Unknown said...: Thanks for the reminder that no matter how tough the trial...Our God is always in control. :-) I needed some encouragement today as well. This low iodine diet isn't much fun, but I'm learning creativity in the kitchen, ;-) Not easy for a gal who is culinary challenged! Call me soon and we can set a date for coffee?

FOR September 2012 ...

Outside My Window today... 61 degrees @ 9:45 am on 9-8-12, with an expected high of 88 today; blue skies; a charming back yard with an old white iron bench in the corner, and three amazing cyclists warming up for their criterium (bike race) today at the 2012 Masters National Cycling Championships here in Bend, Oregon.

I am STILL thinking ... about how excited I am for 2013's AN ARTFUL JOURNEY, which I am registered to attend!

I am thankful for ... all my loved ones, and the kindnesses they show me.

From the kitchen ... Zucchini Bread with Cranberries & Pistachios and an awesome pot of coffee

I am wearing ... my pajamas with my ocelot-print flannel robe

I am creating ... ideas for a Magpie's Art Nest workshop or two in 2013; and curriculum plans for a NWF Habitat Stewards Training series in Encinitas, Ca in 2013

I am going ... into downtown Bend shortly to see my husband Mark and his teammates Steve, John, Joey, Mike, Bob, Alex and our housemate Kal race for a national championship in the masters 54-59 Criterium event.

I am reading ... ALL THE DANCING BIRDS by Auburn McCanta; "Desire to Inspire" by Christine Mason Miller (in bits here & there, to let it sink in); and I'm about to start MY FATHER'S HOUSES (Memoir of a Family) by Steven V. Roberts.

I am praying ... mostly for my father, who now lives in a memory care facility and who turns 92 in 2 weeks; for healthy and happy family members and friends; for the safe arrival of our next grandchild, Jamison, who is due in January 2013; and for many friends the world over who have asked me to pray for and with them. There are many, many intentions in my prayer journal these days.

I've been listening to ... a lot of classis rock on this holiday - it's good driving music, and it's good 'gathering / party' music for a houseful of mature male cyclists with their one (that would be me) 'housemother'. Bike racing, it's good stuff.

Around the house ... it's pretty quiet with us here and my niece and great-niece there.

One of my favorite things ... waking up every day.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The YEAR: a 3-night return trip home from Bend, taking our time so we aren't in the car for as many hours each day; 5 nights in Healdsburg, CA in October; getting re-certified with NWF (national wildlife federation) as a Habitat Steward HOST in their Wildlife Habitat Garden program ...
