Finding the best of life in every hour!
Checking my email, I found the draft of a 10-page article I helped write for the COLUMBIA MAGAZINE - out of the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma. Julianna is a terrific editor and has done wonders with pictures and drawings. It is scheduled to come our in the Winter Edition of the quarterly magazine of Northwest History. Ten pages is 1/3 of the magazine. Deciding that family would want copies, I contacted a few cousins to see about a pre-order list.
Next I got a call from Gary, whom I cornered for help on filing my taxes. He came over with my papers and told me I’m getting my deposits back. I told him that we nned to celebrate by having a Sashimi Lunch at Ginza in Bellevue.
Because of our OMOIDE presentation last Sunday on a national TADAIMA on-line October project. I got an email from Hana in Connecticut. She wants our OMOIDE program to be part of a national story-telling endeavor.
This afternoon, I got a call from David. I’d almost given up on my offer to help his wife with some seizure and health issues with a health program that I have successfully used the last 40 years in my program for family and health counseling. David and I now have a date to get together and talk about it on Sunday. It gives me motivation to be patient and continue to share.
I had a dental appointment with my new dentist, Dr. Jennifer Strelow. Instead of going all the way to Bothell with Dr. Carmody, who bought out Dr. David Branch’s practice, I can now go 5 minutes away to downtown Mercer Island. Jennifer was amazed with Sam’s work in my mouth. I told her my bridges are at least 40 years old. For years, I have heard comments about Sam’s exceptional margins and extraordinary craftsmanship. Since her office is across from Mercerdale Park, I got some exercise walking around the perimeter path a couple times.
It’s still only 6pm. There may still be more to this day?? Meanwhile, I’m preparing a Martha Steward weekly delivered meal. The best part of the plan is that it is healthy and the box comes with just the ingredients that are needed. Therefore, everything is fresh and we know what’s been included.
Sam and I took hot baths every night all our married life and I continue. As explained by Samurai Matcha in his podcast, a hot bath is getting a warm hug.
As I cuddled in the warmth, I could hear the girls singing and harmonizing, getting ready for bed, as they do almost every day!
