Wednesday before vacation...

"It does not matter in the slightest what other people think of what you are doing - the only thing that counts is that you get on with it. Some may love you and some may hate you - but everyone will respect you."

Yikes!  Have to think about that cosmic guidance.

Interesting day yesterday (they have all been interesting since last Wednesday at 4 a.m. when I found out my mother had died).  Taking it slow in the a.m.  Then to work #2, stop by at father's, home, long walk - running into a "stranger" on the rails to trails who turned out to be the stepbrother of a high school friend of my sister's who walked with me for awhile..., then ran into another family friend and stood and spoke to him for a bit, then home, then to the pool for adult swim, then home, watched the news, then to bed.  Had a bit of a heart stopping moment when I thought I might have the dates wrong for my vacation after an email from my friend/cottage owner...that got me thinking.  But all worked out.  I am still heading out this weekend.

Today I do need to get to the library and stock up.  Work #2, father's, library, home, walk, swim, not sure what else.  Might want to pack a bit.

I so need to zoom in on what it is that I am being given the opportunity to do right now.
