I was talking to Olivia and Marianne called me but I stayed talking to Olivia. Then Marianne called Olivia on a different phone but we kept talking. Then I hung up with Olivia and called Marianne and while we were talking Olivia called Marianne.
It was not the first time something like that happened.

The main floor and the basement are now put back together. The upstairs had been mostly put together but I came across a lot of stuff that belongs up there so it's now a mess. And the garage has a lot of stuff in it still.
I feel like I'm paddling upstream here.

When I need someone to tell me to get rid of something, I ask Mark. His answer is always yes. Unless it's Lego instructions. Lego instructions for days. And when I told Mark we had too many Legos, he said, "You bought them for me," and he is right.

I didn't feel like I had time to stop and do some ministering interviews but I stopped and did a few and I felt good after connecting. Doing the right thing usually turns out to be...the right thing. Who knew?

We have too many books.
But I want more.
But we have too many.

Yesterday I got an email requesting I fill out a survey about how my wrist is doing a year after the surgery. It asked me to rate the difficulty I had in lifting 5 pounds, buttoning buttons, reaching a high cupboard, things like that.
Wow.
It made me feel super grateful. Besides the kind of ugly, but I'm used to it by now, scar on my wrist, I don't even think about my surgery. My wrist is fine. When I think about all the ways my wrist serves me without complaint, especially in the last weeks, I am amazed.
I think I take this body, that gets tired and hurts sometimes, too much for granted. It works hard.
And I'm grateful.
