The work of women



June 20, 2013

My sister came for a visit from outer space. May as well have been, since I can’t comfortably walk down to the corner, let alone see her in the greater Seattle area. She sat and visited with me yesterday, fetched a large bag of cat littler out of the car, picked up dog doo in the yard and carried my tofurkey sandwich to the couch. The conversation went on for so long, I barely had enough time to prepare for a meeting with a group of new friends. A woman, whom I didn’t know, was coming to collect me so after sis left, I changed clothes, hopped from room to room to organize things so the dog and cat would be contented, while alone all day, and my personal needs would be met as well. That is a lot of hopping.

I am simply justifying why my blog was not posted yesterday since I a. currently have internet service at the house and b. am committed to sharing my life with the world.

Arrived home long after I expected to return. Was gifted with a dozen fresh chicken eggs and a smile that wrapped around my face, glowing in the dark to lite the path to the bedroom. I had a wonderful time with a clump of women of all ages and strengths. Some cried, most laughed, a few snorted, while others shared their lives that ultimately made a difference for each and every one of us. That is what women do. I am complete.
