Hubby wrote about his brother Serge this week and that was a hard one for him. He has always had deep feelings for that brother who was so special and it is difficult to express it.
I have been mostly unsettled this month and can you believe the first month of 2025 is behind us? As I seemed to jump from project to project I realized the one that was missing - The Bible In a Year was the one I missed the most. So, today I printed up the reading plan and last night started it up for the 5th time. It will only take a little while of doubling up the days until I catch up and am good with that.
I was surprised at how much I missed these daily podshow episodes until I past the month without the bible episodes. Each year that I have done this I have found more and more in the pages especially how much the old testament reflects things that are happening today.
Speaking of today our trump-like premier has done the idiot thing of calling yet another election, a whole year before he is suppose to. He thinks since he has been bellowing over border stuff and tossing money at families (amounts which will not really do a bit of good) we will forget all the stupid things he has done and vote for him again. The motto for this election should be - any party but Ford's party. A lot from his party are running as independent and probably will get voted in. Well, at least we don't have to put up with the ads longer than a month. DD has put in to work the election and advance days as she has done it before and it is good money for a day's job.
So, not too much done except for lots of reading and that is always a good thing. Have a great weekend.
Good luck with your next week starting point! Mine is about three weeks away, getting both the bone density test and the mammo. It's that time of year, isn't it? And before then I have a dental appointment. Today I saw the doctor and he said everything looks good except vitamin D, start taking those little gel caps again for the Winter. But then "go live your life for another year unless something comes up".
ReplyDeleteYup, it sure does seem like those appointments start at this time of year.
DeleteGood luck with the mammo.
ReplyDeleteWilliam Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2. The full quote is: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers". It is among Shakespeare's most famous lines. In this day and age, it's politicians.
Have a great weekend. 😊
Yeah, I think we can give the lawyers a break and just get rid of the politicians. I swear they act like children in a playground when you watch them in session. It is awful, if kids did act that way we would put them in a time out, after warming their bottoms.
DeleteIt sounds like you had a much-needed quiet week, even with the mammogram looming. I'm glad you chose a picture that resonated with you – that message about everyone having their own unique "song" is so important. It's easy to get caught up in negative self-talk, but remembering your own value is key. It's also touching that your husband was able to express his feelings about his brother, even though it was difficult. Grief and love can be complicated.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how things work out – sometimes you don't realize how much you appreciate something until it's gone. I'm glad you rediscovered the Bible in a Year podcast. Starting it up for the fifth time speaks volumes about how much you get out of it. It's interesting how you connect the Old Testament to current events; that must make the readings even more engaging.
Have a wonderful weekend! (((BIG HUGS)))
It really has become so engaging. I thought I would read through one year and say - great now I read the bible but every year it has been so eye opening to many things. Yes, the writings have touched a few family hearts and I really hope he keeps writing (especially now) You too!
