Tues. March 9th

Ever since I read The Shack for book club, I've been happier. I've felt free to delight in the moment, knowing that Heavenly Father has things perfectly in hand. I feel so much more gratitude, and I enjoy things more. I would recommend that book for anyone who can use their imagination to extrapolate from the symbols and story presented in it. I want to make clear that my heart's circulation appears to be fine, if a little slow. That's not dangerous. So, as far as I know, all is well. Mark is working later this evening, so they can do their taxes at work, with their accountant. So I'm watching House Hunters International, Jasmine is on my lap, and Tut is curled up in a quilt on the bed. It's cold outside, snowing this a.m. Megan says it's almost 70 degrees there today. What a difference! But I like a long, cozy winter. I'm never ready for the seasons to change - or at least not usually. I've been watching a lot of home buying and decorating shows lately. It's fun to see the screen more clearly. It feels very luxurious! Mark's birthday is only 3 days away, and I don't have anything for him yet. Yikes! I ordered him a dvd, but he got it in the mail himself and opened it already. :( I'll have to get creative somehow. So, how are things where you are? Let me know! We miss all of you! xoxoxo

I would be scared to do the taxes on a big business! Doc is brave. What was the DVD you ordered him? I didn't realize it was almost his birthday!!! Now we all will have to be creative.
I'm so glad it is warmer here and not snowing! But not too warm. Yesterday was perfect. It is cloudy today and it might rain, but it is still nice. I'm always ready for spring to come, as long as it doesn't rain too much! But I bet it won't be so nice here come June, when it will feel worse than an Idaho August!

I'm soo glad that you're feeling okay now! I've been wanting to call so bad. It's pretty warm weather here, today is about 70 but it's cloudy. This weekend we're hoping to go to the big zoo.
Wow, I forgot about Doc's birthday too! Glad you reminded me! How old is Doc now? 55? Just a guess... somewhere around there.

Thanks for writing and telling us you're okay! Keep writing okay?

I'm sorry that you were in the hospital! That is sad for you. :( I would want lots of attention and treats if I was sick.
It sounds cozy there with House Hunters Int. (I love that show!) and Tut. At the hospital it was kind of fun to have cable again. But when we had cable we blocked most of the channels and there they aren't, so I always had to flip through all the stupid ones. And I got tired of the tv pretty quickly and was really happy when Danny brought up Dune! I'm really enjoying reading it again after all these years!!
