As of Saturday, my pal, Deb went back to Athens to live at home. She will be commuting to Nashville to finish her treatments. I miss her, even though I know she is better at her real home.
Today I am by myself. No one else to fix breakfast for. No one to awaken with, "It's chemo time." No one to look up and see sitting on the sofa. No one to take on rides.
I did seize the day to paint a table that has been in my garage for over a month waiting for my undertaking the project. I still have a few more pieces to do which will give me a new purpose.
Saturday afternoon Dennis & I moved our things back downstairs to our bedroom and bath from the guest room and bath. We then escaped to Montgomery Bell State Park for an overnight get-away. It was so serene and peaceful. Our room had a balcony with two chairs and a table overlooking the lake. We saw geese and ducks as well as families enjoying the great outdoors. I was able to finish a book that I had been reading piecemeal for several weeks. Their buffets are wonderful!
On our way back we took the scenic route and stopped at the new McKay's Bookstore on Old Hickory Blvd at I-40. What a great place! We each found two books to have and enjoy.
Life is full of changes; we meet each with the grace to carry on and learn new opportunities for God's purpose in our lives. Wishing you days full of such!
