I am going to start running (once again until the end of days...err my end of days) tomorrow!
It's the least I can do. In honor of my family member in crisis and for me! I need to relieve some stress. And lose weight. AND I need a goal. I am determined to do that marathon yet!
I am feeling better today. I am breathing better at least! I feel like I am glowing. It must be all of this prayer. Prayer is good for the soul! Not just for the person you're praying for, but for you!
A funny thing happened on the bus just a moment ago. I was getting caught up on the news, when a message popped up.
"I'm on the same bus as you". It read. There was a man's face that I did not quite recognize attached the text. My heart started to thud. In my head the tone of voice was slightly threatening.
But when I looked up, I saw his grinning face! He waved. Then texted me some more. It is a young man I met a few years ago on this very bus. We exchanged numbers, but never really talked. I'm not really the cougar type. Just friendly. I think he might of been seeking some kind of experience like Dustin Hoffman in "The Graduate"!
But I let him down gently.
So we had a friendly chat. It turns out he babysits his baby niece every morning. I told him I babysit my granddaughter. Then the seat behind me opened up and he came and sat behind me. Just then something caught my eye. I pointed and laughed in disbelief. So did he.
"Did I just see a chicken playing a violin", I asked him.
"You did", he laughed. "I saw the same thing. Unless we are both so tired from babysitting we had the same hallucination!"
Just then my stop came up. I waved. And bounced off. Just a casual, light-hearted conversation and a smile from another human can change one's day.
Plus a lot of prayer!
Now I have to dash off and teach.
Happy Friday!
Love,
Zita
