Today we enjoyed a pancake feast to end all pancake feasts!
Not only were Pavani’s pumpkin pancakes beyond delicious, but we got to share them in company with some of our dearest friends.
What joy!
Feasting on pancakes and joy
Sucked in by Facebook
Sometimes Facebook will notify me about a “friend’s” birthday, and I realize I can’t even remember the person or how I know them.
So then I’ll go to their profile in order to decide whether it’s time to “unfriend” them.
Unfortunately, today was one of those times when I couldn’t really remember the person, but I did recognize someone on their friends list who I hadn’t seen in years and was curious about what they were up to.
Then, of course, I ran across someone on that person’s friends list…and so on and so forth, until I was completely sucked into the black hole that is Facebook. 🤦♀️
Which is why this is all I have time to write about in today’s blog post!
Maybe the time has come
At least, I’m hoping the time has finally come!
I’d really, really like for me and my body to know that we’re on the same team.
On the same side.
Best friends, even.
Laughing with friends
These dear friends are to “blame” for tonight’s abbreviated blog post.
We spent the evening eating and sharing and laughing, which meant that Ramesha and I got home rather late.
Of course, it was great fun and well worth it.
Choose well
I find this fascinating. All extremely common words, but it would never in a million years have occurred to me to compare the number of letters in each one.
But I’m grateful that it occurred to someone (thank you, whoever you are), because it has caused me to reflect on how important it is to choose rightly.
So along those lines: I choose love, friends, and truth; I choose to be positive; I choose to rise above and to live in joy; I choose to be happy; I choose what is right; and I choose to heal.
And so it is.
Two full years later…
We had dear friends over for dinner tonight.
An actual sit down and eat together meal, inside our house, for the first time since the pandemic began.
We’ve had occasional gatherings elsewhere with friends and family, but it really feels good to be able to entertain in our home once again.
My current favorite people
Jyotish and Devi have been on fire in their classes this Inner Renewal Week.
They express so much wisdom, love, and joy in their every word and action, it’s a thrill to be in the room with them.
And most wondrous of all, is being able to call such great souls our friends.
Catching up to Christmas
Now that the concert is over, we’re getting caught up on some of the lighter aspects of Christmas.
Such as going “festive” for this morning’s Sunday service. I especially enjoyed the men’s Christmas ties. 😄
This evening we had invited friends over to watch “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (the original half-hour version with Boris Karloff narrating, of course!), which motivated us to finish the Christmas tree, set up the nativity scene, get out all the Christmas cups, and generally spiff up the apartment.
Now it’s really feeling like Christmas has arrived in our home — and just in time!
Spring has sprung
And we spent part of the afternoon sitting on the Master’s Market lawn — enjoying the sunshine and blossoming trees; greeting friends as they walked by; and enjoying a muffin from Prita’s Cafe!
Spring is here and life is good. 😊
Astrological weather
I’m always a little surprised, yet deeply comforted, when I “own up” to my low moments and then receive so much loving support and encouragement in return. I have the world’s best network of friends, for whom I am so very, very grateful!
One of those friends reminded me about the astrological perspective. Which brought to mind a quote from my astrologer friend, Drupada: “It’s just astrological weather.”
Yep. And like the physical weather, it can be messy and inconvenient and scary at times, but it passes. 🌈
