It is the lull between when the house starts to smell like a roast beef dinner & when I have to figure out how to make the rest of the meal on only 2 burners. So I thought that I would take a moment to do this ....
If you are reading this today (whatever day today is ...) know that you are loved. You are important to someone ... and someone you love needs to hear from you TODAY.
In a moment I will go out there and saute the mushrooms in butter & red wine that I will add to the gravy I make from the drippings. Then I will start the potatoes for mashed and I'll blanche the green beans. Then I'll try to figure out what I've forgotten ... in a vain attempt to avoid stress as it all comes together. In the end I will sit down & enjoy a nice dinner with the GF & her mom. And after that, a long weekend will draw to a close.
I will clean the kitchen, wash the dishes and enjoy a coffee out on the deck and have a momentary "conversation with God". I'll take a moment to thank him for all that is good in my life today and for the opportunity to enjoy this existence. And then I'll say a prayer for anyone who is struggling, suffering, alone or less fortunate. Then I will look to the upcoming week and try to determine how to fit in all the things that require my undivided attention .... & for that I am grateful.
