Reflecting

Beautiful Sunday afternoon gives one time to reflect. (Back of my shirt says - I'm with the dog!)

We had the chance to visit a dear friend today who is very ill. I was touched by her ability inspite of her being gravely ill to ask each of us about what was going on in our lives. She is on a liquid diet and so I was able to share some of my favorite drinks from my days with liquid only. We hugged and I told her how much I loved her. I hope I get a chance to tell her that again and again but we both sensed her time is limited. We left being reminded of the beauty of life, and I will be praying for my dear friend that I love.

Monday is my last day at an agency that I have worked for five years in addition to my private practice. I have been busy enough to quit for quite some time but I love the people here so it has taken some time to make that decision. I will miss the great people there and have promised them that Cricket and I will drop in and say hi often. Such dear friends that I love.

At church today I was touched by the kindness extended to me -- one lady made such a point to come up to me, tell me her name and compliment me on my outfit. Voice recognition can be challenging in a crowded situation. Another lady when passing the roll around, whispered what it said and asked if I wanted to sign up. I could go on ... but just love the love that I felt.

We are putting together a fun new assortment of pictures in a frame and came across some thank you letter from clients. Oh my, it warms my heart and has me thinking and wondering how they each are doing. I will never forget 93-year-old Harry when I called him to go do a home visit and asked him what I could bring him ... Becky, just bring your love. He has since passed away but oh how I miss him and think of that phrase so often! LOVE Just bring your love.
