monday, 8/6/07

with the rain overnight and the humidity so high, dad's being a sleepy head. he woke up a lot during the night from the "reindeer on the roof." our plans for today fell thru so we're just gonna have to wing it today!

rotary is a regular monday meeting i take dad to, but it's location today is different than it usually is. after talking with the meeting coordinator, it was suggested we pass today.... little reasons like potties being farther away, needing to walk a bit more and parking not being great. dad called this change of location "screwy." well, yeah maybe it is.... but i can see how going somewhere different every once in awhile would be a welcomed change. i didn't go there tho for i know it's a disappointment to dad that he isn't going. unfortunately today's location isn't ideal for any of the elders in the group-- and there are quite a few.

this meeting change today comes on the heels of my prayers. last monday, dad sat in poop the whole meeting. since that somehow became ok in his mind, i prayed for something to help ease us out of attending these meetings. something that gave me a reason to avoid immediately telling him the real reason we shouldn't go anymore-- how do you talk to your parent about sitting in poop and that not being ok???

god bless dad. and thank you, god, for this one diversion. i know i need to address this with him... i just needed more time to think it thru. mission accomplished.

We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience... we are spiritual beings going through a human experience.The next time someone needs you, be there. Stay.
