Busy week
I had a busy week. Our community group is planning an international day in September in our neighbourhood. We have a wide variety of nationalities and socioeconomic levels where we live. We have decided what we want to do. Now we need to involve people from the cultural groups. The Chinese community is eager. Our Lebanese grocer is eager to participate and the Italian community is offering their cultural center as it is at the bottom of our hill. My neighbour and I spent 2 afternoons out meeting people and will be out next week too.
I honestly feel better when I am busy.
I have been walking every day and feel so much better. I did about 4 - 5 miles today. I walked to the furthest grocery store (within reason) and back home with a bag of vegetables. The hill is getting easier!!
The BEST news is that our room is booked in Tahoe! I was hesitating a bit but Cevyn (our granddaughter) wants to go to LA and Seattle. So we decided that Tahoe is not that far away so it was really easy to decide to go. I am not sure if Cevyn will participate in the retreat with me but I would like her to. She is our pride and joy.
We called Cevyn every day for 3 years (her dad was distracted and worked a lot). Cevyn went home to an empty desolate house after school. We didn't want her to feel alone. For the last year, our calls have been weekly, sometimes less. Her stepmother is usually home after school and her dad's office is at home. She's a teenager and busy so we were not too bothered. Well the last couple of weeks, she has been calling us almost daily. She is getting excited about grad - she bought her dress yesterday. She has also joined the rugby team. She wants to get in to shape for grad and she said that she gets really irritated with some people so figured the contact sport might help her get the feelings out. I personally believe that she is grieving her mom's death so I am glad she has an outlet. She paints as well which is great.
So this week, life is good.
Lisa: I wish you were here so we could brag about Cevyn together. She is such an awesome young woman. I miss you always and love you forever. Mummy
