Good Afternoon and welcome to Thursday - a little later than normal - after a restless night I slept a little longer and have taken most of the morning to get going. Older and slower - but getting there and I have achieved quite a lot today.
My email account downloaded five copies of each email which meant read one delete four.
I have however done the job I promised myself to be done today - I have tidied the drawers in my desk and found all sorts of things. I have a large bag of things to go to Goodwill and another bad of things to be relocated and another to be "re homed". Grace and Henry will be the beneficiaries of lots of rulers and pencils I have parted with. There are lots of memories in these desk drawers - things I have put away - not wanting to part with and wanting to keep close to me.
Among the things I have come across are my Father's address book with his handwriting and notes - something I will always keep. There are two of his handkerchiefs in the drawer and they still smell like him and of course there were tears. Wishing to be able to discuss and debate with him over coffee, the things that trouble my heart. Knowing that this would go on for the whole day and half the night - just one more time.
There are packs of playing cards - at hand when more than one child wanted to play cards - a small teddy bear that I just can't part with. It has been quite an emotional journey and I am pleased with the results.
This afternoon it is my intention to sort through my collection of Cd's and re home those I no longer play and sort into some sort of order those I keep. I said that was the intention - and I hope it happens but not going to be too distressed if it doesn't.
Tomorrow is my Clinic and Specialist appointment at Flinders and I always get somewhat twitchy when that time comes. I need to fill the car with fuel before we tackle that journey and with the way petrol prices are that will be a costly venture.
I have to make a visit to the local Police Station as my Justice of the Peace appointment is under review and I need to have a Police Check - will do that early next week - lots of paper work to be filled in but it is worth it because I value that position as it means I can give some service to my community.
A trip to the Pharmacy for prescriptions to be filled and that's good because it is my medication keeping me on top of health issues and stopping organ rejection. How blessed I am.
Thankful Thursday always brings joy to me because I never know where to start with my thanks.
This time I shall just say I am thankful for Love, Life and Laughter - in all it's forms and diversities. For Family, Friendship and Fellowship - they warm my heart. For Sunshine, Smiles and Sweetness. I give thanks for Children, Cherished Memories and Charity. Health, Happiness and Hope.
I shall report in after my visit to Clinic tomorrow but until then - be happy, be safe and take time to smell the flowers. Enjoy your family, your job and your life - you can and you do make a difference.
Love and hugs and thanks for reading the "Musings of my Heart."
