Resolving issues
Little baby granddaughter, Autumn, was baptized on Aug 6th. We celebrated at the house after the ceremony. The weather was neither too hot or too cold, so everyone enjoyed the backyard. A compatible group. My niece could not find a place to park near the church so she decided to go to her grandpa's house. Later she brought my dad over to visit for a bit. So nice to see him--he hadn't been to the house in about a year. Last weekend I stayed at my daughter's house while she and her husband flew to California for her friend's wedding. Watched granddaughter Autumn, Lily, the golden retriever puppy and Tiger, the cat. No sooner had we arrived at my daughter's house when Lily, the dog, dismantled the baby gate trying to get upstairs with me. When my daughter and her husband are home, Lily gets a lot of attention, but when it is just me, she doesn't get much. On Saturday evening, after she acted out a few times, Autumn and I took her for a short walk. Changed the tenor of the evening. On Sunday, I invited my son over. We ate together and chatted and I took Lily for a long walk. He drove my daughter and her husband home from the airport. I got home around 2am, slept for a few hours and then got up to get ready for work. I like this quote, it makes sense to me. "If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present." I was looking at an email my husband sent me and the quote was at the bottom. I desire and try to attain peaceful living. I have been anxious the last few weeks waiting for issues to resolve. Concern about the weather for the baby's luncheon, wondering if my dad was coming up north and how he would get there, securing care for the animals while we are away, huge responsibility of baby, puppy and cat while my daughter and her husband were away. So anxious that I did not feel well.
