Something peaceful about this Autumn scene!

Well, the morning is still fairly young! And yet, a lot of tidbitz has already taken place this am.

At about 3 am, Alan telephoned the Emergency at the Hospital; about his unusual and sudden situation? ie welts, rashes, itchiness, severe headache, swollen right hand, and puffy eyes. Very strange bittidz indeed. It was suggested that perhaps food poisoning (which I could not fathom; given the every bit of tid care we take with our foods)was not the culprit; possibly a bite and / or a severe allergy/reaction. We are presently waiting for Alan's doctor to call to see whether Alan should see him or go directly to the Emergency. Very very weird; but then there has been a lot of strange "stuff" happening as of late; and "out of left field". Hmmmmmmm. For those of you, who are Spiritual Warriors, you can perhaps also identify with what I share.

Needless to say, my poor Alan did not get much sleep; so I was up earlier than usual; which was fine. It is a nice, cool, crisp fall morning; and Blue and I had a most refreshing wake up walk. After our "puppy" was fed his breakfast, I was going to light a cheery fire, and read the paper, along with a very much appreciated cup of coffee. Well, the phone rings; and one of Alan's best friends was calling to say that his longtime girlfriend had just been tragically killed in a car accident. And, also, his older friend, whom he gave shelter to at his apt, just suffered a stroke / heart attack early this morning; so he is now at the Emergency with him. Our friend will be back in touch with us in a tid to keep us apprised.

Tidbit - You never know what you have, until it is gone, or almost taken away from you. We are all so fragile; and, it is all the more imperative, that we are thankful for each and every day. Because, you never know when your number is up.

We have a funeral / memorial service to go to this coming Thursday; one of my Mum's oldest and closest friends just passed away. We will go out of respect for the life long friendship, and acknowledge that this woman is one of the last, in a very special era in history. My Mum was also one of the last in this league. She passed away 2 years ago, and would have been 90 years this coming November. And, not a day goes by, that I do not think of her, in a loving, kind, and compassionate way.

Bittid - "Best laid plans of mice and men". Somehow, the fire and reading the paper seem a bit far away; given what has just happened. Need now to re adjust our day; having already postponed projects from yesterday to "be on the docet" for today. I guess you can say, that there is never a dull moment!

Well, I had better go and get on with what lies before us; whatever unfolds, we are going with the flow.

Hope your day is a good one. I am enjoying the above photo image again! It looks so mistily peaceful; and a calm is what we need for today; and for each and every day.

God Bless.
