Prayer

Today one of my kids prayed and asked God for forgiveness for all the bad things done and asked for help to do better. The kid didn't have any prompting, just prayed before the nightly shower and then came to share afterwards. God's pretty amazing!

Every year I think that I will become better friends with people, and every year I fail at progressing. I think I either need to plan or give it up.

It always amazes me that people might actually want to be my friend and might genuinely be interested in talking to me. I realized it again this evening and several other times lately during conversations where I forced myself to stay instead of making my normal quick get away.  The other person seemed like they wanted to continue talking. I always just assume people want to get away as quickly as possible so I beat them to it.  Arms length. Sigh. You don't make very many friends that way.

Tears of the gods.

Tonight I inherited some small things from an old friend of mine. It made me want to cry. I still might. I miss her.

It's supposed to be cold and icy this week. I can't wait to make chili!

I bought myself some new tights for the cold weather! Yippee!

Night all.  Play fair.
