Good evening all,
I had a pretty good day of working on the steps, bit of gardening, and a zoom call with family. All good.
Best part of the day was the teenager next door got me to drive with him (he is working on his 50 hours of driving with a permit). We drove a lovely loop that takes us down a dirt road into a beautiful valley, then along a 2 lane road and then a 4 lane highway. We talked of every thing from the genetics of dogs, inbreeding to football and if he should play this year. He is a big guy and promised a friend who died this summer that he would play. On the down side he really doesn't want to play foot ball. All this felt like good conversation and good time with a kid.
I am grateful for moments like these. So often I can't do a darn thing for our wounded world (hmmm . . . I continually struggle with this) but occasionally I can do something that feels positive in many ways.
Sleep well all and may you start your week rested and ready for what ever comes.
