Slowing down

Good Evening,

Am glad it is the evening; we will be seeing our bed shortly tonight. Had an early start. We had a full tidbitz morning, and then we ended up going out with my son to play 'pitch and putt'. I have never done that before; as well as being a non golfer. In February, I pulled my right arm / shoulder muscles; so I tweaked some more 'owies' today. 'Pitch and Putt' is a fun sporting activity; inexpensive; and we look forward to enjoying the 18 rounds again with him. It is my son's birthday; so we juggled our day around to spend a few hours with him; including a bite of lunch afterwards. My son and a group of 25 friends are going out for dinner tonight to celebrate his 'special' day!

We also received some sad news about a dear friend / business associate of ours. We had wondered why he had not returned our calls? Apparently, he has been in a coma for a week; and because he is not that old, he is having brain scans to confirm his grave situation. Presently, he is on life support in the hospital; and as we are not family members, we are not privy to any info. Thus, we are 'standing by' for any news. Our other good friend (who will be calling us), says that the outcome does not look good; and that depending on the test results, our friend may be pulled off the life support. That would be a tough decision to make, methinks. Regardless, Alan and I have said Intercessary Prayers throughout the day for him; and we will Pray some more tonight.

Also, we have been working on other options with our endeavours and again, we have to have the trust, the courage and the patience to 'wait' upon Him to Provide the Solution. We think it was just as well that we had a 'change of scene' today. Fresh air, warm sunshine, celebrating a 'special' day, being with loved ones, was a wonderful boost to our spirits.

As mentioned earlier, I have newly become involved in a home based business; and in time, this will help to supplement our income. Best to be prudent and have a 'Plan B' during these uncertain times, methinks. I have embraced these products; and am in the process of 'learning the ropes' as a newcomer. Am familiarizing myself with presentations / approaches, appreciating the products more fully, and understanding the business plan.

Tidbit - When you are experiencing 'down times' / challenges, channel your energies into accomplishing other matters. Once you start, it is amazing how much better you feel; even if it is tackling new and / or unfinished bittidz tasks. Or just taking a complete 'rest' for a bit; to recharge the tid batteries!

Bittid - There are times when one has to 'slow down', and heed the 'warning' signals.

Our friend literally 'overworked' himself; so, if he survives, may this be a 'wake up' call to alert him to 'slow down'. It is so easy to fall victim to 'stress'. My Dad did. In my Dad's final days, when he was too weak to speak, he scribbled a somber note to me, saying 'Stress Kills'. I have never forgotten those words of wisdom.

Sorry, for some tid reason, am not able to access any photo images. Talk / write about 'slowing down' for a bit. Well, am going to 'give it a rest' for tonight; and wish you a 'Good Night, and hope you receive a good night's rest.

May Peace be with you, and God Bless.
