but yesterday was a sunshiny day, and a Sonshiny day too! My visit to Mayo went extremely well....they were squeezing me in and I thought I would be sitting waiting for hours, but I was in and out of the parking ramp in less than an hour.....a pretty unusual thing.....especially for Mayo.
Bonnie got a chance to drive my car....so it won't be all new when we leave on our trip next week. Boy that is coming quickly.....I have to start thinking about packing....and what to bring. We had good conversation on the way down, and at lunch....making plans for the trip as well, and then I laid in the back the ride home....so not much conversation happened. The doctor wasn't as agressive yesterday, so my butt wasn't too sore....but laying down for the ride takes the antisicpated ache away!....or maybe it was the tylenol.
After arriving home around 5 p.m. I heard the doorbell ring....and was surprised at that....I wasn't expecting anyone....and there stood a women with flowers in her hand and she said "these are for Mary". Now who would be sending me flowers for no reason I could think of. Mom!!! (I've adopted Aunt Loretta as my mom) and it was a thank you for taking such good care of her while she was here before Christmas. I'm so blessed to have Loretta in my life.....she calls often to check up on me too.....and always brings a smile to my face. Love you Loretta....I'll call you this afternoon and thank you personally.
After that wonderful addition to my day, I listened to President Obama give that great speech at the memorial for those that were killed last weekend in Tucson, Arizona. At one point he was talking about a man who was killed and he said he would be remembered for the way he loved.....and I immediately started thinking of Bucky and reading his caringbridge site guestbook messages...I know how much he is loved and how great his love for his family and friends....and then my mind went to the words of a song...."and they will know we are Christians by our love."...God is Love....and I also know that I am much loved....I feel the blessings of that love everyday....and I thank God for everyday I get to share that with all of you. So that is why I think it was a Sonshiny day yesterday...and I look forward to another today.
I shed a few tears during the speech, but also felt that it was a healing speech and was so glad that I live in a place that the leaders can actually quote the bible and talk about a loving God. We are so lucky!!
Today I have a dentist appointment to have my teeth cleaned. Then I will do some shopping. Nothing planned for the evening....we'll see what surprises I have today! I'll let you know tomorrow! Love and prayers, m
