Coffee

One of my favorite rituals is Tuesday morning coffee with Adam and Keith. Today was even better because I had an early morning bike ride to go with the coffee and conversation. It is a beautiful morning. Ann and I are going to meet with Crossroads Missions this morning. I have no idea what that experience will bring. I think that is what makes this time of my life so interesting, the surprises that seem to come every day. Gary Smith and I are having lunch. My calendar is pretty full. Maybe I’ll work in  a nap this afternoon. Hopefully we will have a thunder storm. Ther is nothing more relaxing than stretching out on our screened porch during a rain and taking a nap.

I am beginning to get mentally prepared for our trip to Florida. I’m also gathering up reading material. Hopefully I will get in some fishing with the grandkids.

Change

Change is always painful but the upside is that it also brings adventure and opportunity. This week will be a significant in our journey. Our house is up for sale. I will begin working at U of L (assuming I get past the background check). The pain will come in the disruption of my comfortble routines. Reading, exercising, flexible schedules will all be affected. I think it will be good for me. Perhaps I will be reminded of how most people live.

Rain out?

A worship service in the park is planned for this morning. It appears we are at risk of cancelling because of rain. Apparently the prayers for ending the drought have trumped the prayers for good weather this morning.
