(((sun)))) sorry to hear you didn't have a good night's sleep. I can relate to the risidual anger issues and waking up with it front and centre in your thoughts. I hope it runs it's course quickly. Try to be kind to yourself in the process. Metta phrases come to mind too. Peace to you my friend.

Wow!! what a blast of summer! I am with you. I am not so fond of high temps anymore. When I was younger, the hotter the better but not so much anymore. If it gets too hot I can only garden early mornings and evenings and my garden wilts under the heat not to mention the burnt grass. I am concerned we are going to have extreme temps this summer given the extreme temps this past or passing winter.

My walk was wonderful. I volunteered to canvas door to door in my neighbourhood for the Kidney Foundation. I have volunteered for Cancer and Heart and Stroke in the past but never made the rounds before the month was out. Today was the last day and I didn't want this year to be like the others so I headed out with my book. I had a wonderful time visiting with my neigbours. One older couple have been denied driver's license renewals and were feeling stranded without use of their car. I am going to drive her into town tomorrow to get a hair cut and to take them both in once a week so they could still meet up with some friends at McDonalds.

A few doors down I met a sweet woman who told me a sad story of having been robbed 3 weeks ago by her housesitter when she was on vactation in Mexico. She was still having a lot of anxiety about it. I was able to offer some suggestions for working through it. She recognized me from seeing me in my garden and told me she was going to try to plant a little garden of her own. I offered to help her when the weather warmed up. We hugged before I went on my way again.

Every person who answered the door were so friendly and generous it was such a wonderful blessing. Only one person that was home didn't give a donation.

What an awesome gift to be able to do that without a hint of anxiety. Yahoo!!
