Babysitting the granddaughter Saturday and Sunday, and getting the second massage of my life Saturday, made for a very relaxing weekend. Once all the kinks were worked out of my shoulders and lower back, how could I help but relax while playing with the six month old beauty.
She was six months old on the 4th, and is now showing a great deal of character. She is handling things well with her hands and can now hold her bottle. Xochitl, (Mayan - means flower), has a great smile while reaching out in front of her to clap. She is quite amusing and a joy to have around.
I also wrote a post this morning, Whose Trials Are These?, on my 2008 Road To Recovery forum. It was something I have contemplated all week and finally got it from head to paper, or laptop as it were. It all started with the question of who have things been tougher on, myself or my wife Sue. I believe the answer is Sue, although the question and answer didn't make it into the article. The forum has a listing of the chronology of events and the blessings that came along the way. This particular article ponders the possible circumstances of those who were involved in helping me through the situation. Although I was at the center of the picture from my point of view, every other person that was involved was operating from their own paradigm. Perhaps to them, my situation was a sidebar to their own hectic lives. It's kind of a "walk in their shoes" view of my situation.
It was also nice today to hit the open house for the high school graduate daughter of some good friends. We met up with a whole group of old friends that passed through the food line. It was a two hour visit that seemed to pass in twenty minutes. What a great time visiting with old friends that truly care for me and my family.
I now sit home and miss all the family and friends, it was a great weekend. but now it's time for bed and back to work tomorrow. Good night.
