Good for my word

I slept so much today!  But I did manage to get two things right.

Off and on, for months, I've been mentioning the need to get on a spiritual path that suits me in an honest way.  This morning I began that journey and attended Trinity Church, Sonoma, for the first time in months.  I wanted to reclaim a community that has been mine since 1995, but, for many reasons, my participation has lapsed in the past couple years.  

This morning I knew more of the parishioners than not and it felt like a return home.  Because I had been in the hospital for so long I was publicly acknowledged and applauded. During that time I received many cards, telephone calls and visits from various members - which meant so much to me.  Attending church this morning was Step One.

Secondly, I began my daily walking program which the doctor insisted is a necessity.  I have several pre-measured areas that are suitable for beginning.  The one I chose for today was nearby and only 2/3 mile, longer than I was walking in the hospital, but not too strenuous.  Steve and I leashed up Brix and Demi and walked them around a short block - twice.  The second loop seemed much more difficult than the first one.  Afterwards I was more than ready for another nap, but glad that I had made the effort.

Remember, I've decided that I want to live and that I am ready to do my part to make survival more likely.  So you won't be surprised if you hear little reports about church attendance and exercise, two critical parts of my future - if I am to have one.
