Like being told you couldn’t sing I felt empty to not be able to express my gratitude. Thank you Crystal for the prompt fix.

Having three emails for Crystal I sent my distress to all three and Messenger too. Funny in retrospect! Dear friend thank you for your tolerance!

Thank you Karen for telling me she was having trouble too.  I was sure it was just something I was doing wrong.

Dinner with family last night. Marvelous! Good food and lots of catching up!

But the empty chair represented the sister who wanted to be there and the ghost who should have been.

Grateful for problems solved and patience!

Playing songs about September and there are a lot of them.

Even one about the 21st of September.

Cold symptoms mean cold medicine. I want to say I don’t have time but body is saying make time.

Busy day today but know I can do it.

Oatmeal and a cup of coffee.

Anticipating a nice rest this afternoon.

Balance of work,rest and music!

Look for signs of Fall we are on the cusp!

Thank you Lord for restoring my energy.

You woke me up early to put an idea in my head.

Finding gratitude when things are going haywire.

Cloudy days to break the heat.

The car could have cost more. We have the money to fix it. (It’s fixable!)

Car has new brakes. We made it through that expense and will make it through this.

Ironically the new mattress is silver We will get it set up soon.

Heeding the signs that I need rest.

Was there a siren or an alert? Not important just learn for next time.

Grateful to all the people who get us up and running after a storm. Too many to list.
