Over a week since I’ve posted. I’ve thought about it a lot,
but somehow it escaped my memory in time to keep me from writing. Many painful
days this week. My lower back has been very sore, and the slightest bending and
stretching work…like pulling up a stuck stake, or digging out a patch of sod,
leaves me with a day’s agony.
I notice more and more than physical exercise, while it
raises my blood pressure, doesn’t seem to threaten me. Internal upset, anxiety,
or anger, or worry, is the dangerous stuff.
Discovered again just how much we miss the grandchildren.
Watched two intense movies; A Late Quartet and The Secret’s in Their Eyes. The
latter is an Argentinian film, which develops in a different manner from US
movies. And all the actors were unfamiliar, which made it more interesting. We
needed Emma’s expertise with scripts, scenes, and direction, to enrich us.
The pool re-opened this morning, after a two-week closure
for cleaning, repairs, etc. It felt really good to get in the water and work
out comfortably. I think the 7:00 AM deep-water workouts are going to be fine.
It’s a great way to start the day!
I’ve undertaken some preaching assignments for the fall. End
of September and most of November. I’m gelling the jump on the September
service. Oh! And I have a Communion to do in Innisfail on October 6. We’ll see
if my focus and concentration have improved since July.
Beatrix has been through another step in the process of
having breast reconstruction. She handles these events so well. Only one
meltdown after this one. Understandable. Change is so difficult as you get
older, even if the change is perceived a positive.
Well, back to sermon preparation and research…
