This morning our temperature outside
was 13 degrees F. We did not get as much snow as some areas did but it still
seemed quite a change of season.
I even drove to church this morning
for a women’s breakfast because I was going to speak. When I walk I wear a hat
and my hair gets rearranged in styles that I sometimes do not like. Vanity won
the self talk should I walk or should I drive this short mile. I wasted gas so I
could look good.
I was a little nervous before I started
talking, but that was ok as I just kept talking on. As I told them in the
beginning, it was nice to know some faces when I looked out at the group. Each of
these breakfasts has a speaker who is from the congregation. She shares details
about her faith journey. That was a new experience for me to talk about that in
front of a group.
This afternoon Leroy and I finished
delivering the neighborhood newsletters. This was the longest walk away from
the house, but still not too far. The hardest part was getting the letters
apart with mittens on. A few were taped to the apartment buildings close to the
door. We are not allowed to put anything in the mail boxes and there is no
other place to put them so they do not blow around. The taping required bare
hands so I did that as Leroy has cold hands even with terrific mittens. I was happy
that one woman was at the door so we could just put it in her hands.
We will not have another newsletter to
deliver until March when it might be warmer. We do not have neighborhood
meeting in January and February so our time can be spent contemplating the
world as it turns.
