Doing Nothing

I am doing something I haven't done in a while - sitting in my chair in the sunroom in solitude, window open, birds singing, puppies sighing, sun shining, doing nothing. It is a beautiful fall day. The phone has not rung, for which I am so very happy. AND, I am doing nothing. With all the health issues and tests mostly behind me, I am devoting the rest of the week to doing nothing. The scans are done. By Friday the "Big P" test will be done! LOL  Friday, Thom and I are going to the mountains to look at the beginning fall colors and just enjoy some time wandering around. Tonight we will be getting together with our Home Group from church - always, always a joy and a privilege. The same for tomorrow's Women's Oasis gathering.

Though I am enjoying doing nothing the rest of this week, I am looking forward to the things on my to-do list - replanting my Monkey Paw fern, prepping the gardens for winter, working on some craft and art projects in my " studio,"  cleaning my office, (why is it always so cluttered?) joining the Y. Getting back to normal, God willing.

 God willing, I will be able to continue to plan our 50th anniversary trip to Europe in the spring, refresh my French and German and learn the polite necessities in Dutch.

 God willing I will rock my great-grand baby this winter, swaddled all cozy in my arms.

 God willing, I will watch with pride as Keith graduates from high school in June.

 God willing, life will go on awhile longer, as normal and I will never forget all the family and friends who love me, who pray for me, who stand with me and beside me and my God, who cares for me and listens to me and answers my prayers!

 God willing.
