Our Journey: For Today...

FOR TODAY

Outside our window...

it's overcast and muggy, even the birds and squirrels are quiet.

I am thinking...

of the difference between Boo's morning exuberance yesterday and his quiet, gentle disposition this morning. Both mornings he has been enthusiastic, but in different ways.

We are thankful...

for the calls Boo received yesterday and the package he received for Father's Day. He had a wonderfully loud, happy day yesterday. (And he was the one being loud much to Boudreaux's dismay!)

In the kitchen...

are plenty of leftovers from last night---steak, shrimp, salmon, cheese biscuits, baked potatoes, spinach rice dressing, black eyed peas and the makings of an awesome tossed salad. OK, there's half a baked potato, but enough for something.

We am wearing...

black plaid capris, a black polo shirt and black clogs. Boo has on summer weight blue jeans with an elastic waist and an olive green tee with a thin white stripe. So far he's wearing bedroom slippers, but the day is young yet.

I am going...

to our storage unit today to find a few summer things that I evidently didn't label as summer. I must remember labels and a Sharpie pen just in case I find other mislabeled boxes.

I am wondering...

if I can figure out how to reorganized this blog. I have some ideas, but can I implement them? I'm not as computer savvy as I'd like to be.

I just finished reading...

The French Gardner by Santa Montefiore. A friend chose it at a thrift store and I read it first. It's about love, marriage, commitment and gardening. I didn't expect to really find anything noteworthy in the book, but it surprised me. For a quick read, it did have some thoughts to savor.

We are hoping...

to take a walk this afternoon and sit on the deck for a while. Maybe the weather will cooperate...

We are looking forward to...

a quiet, productive week.

A favorite quote for today...

“Magic is love. If you love someone, they grow in beauty and confidence. They flower before your eyes. The garden is the same. With love, it will grow brighter and more abundant. There's no secret to love or magic, just the limits of our own courage and self-belief.” from The French Gardner

One of Boo's favorite things...

is Boudreaux's beautiful red leash. He can see the leash and know that his cat is near. Another favorite thing is taking Boudreaux for a walk. (Boudreaux would rather go his own way staying close to Boo. Boo would rather have him ride on the seat of his rolling walker. Boo generally wins.)

A few plans for the rest of the week...

include washing Boudreaux, attempting to reorganize this blog, taking daily walks, and ensuring that all Boo's medical records are transferred to his new primary care clinic.

A peek into our day...

(We've been looking at old photos this past week and remembering.)
