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.
