A Rainy Day

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

My life gets more fabulous each day as
 I look forward to what new experience
each day new day will bring.

Today we have rain- glorious rain. It is falling steadily and constant. We see so little rain in our area of the country. It is always a Godsend whenever it arrives. This downfall began as we went to bed at about 9.45 pm last night and  has not stopped since then. Eventhough I water the garden, it does not respond the way it does whe rain falls.

We had a conversation with our son and his wife who are this week in Calgary in Canada. Our son is in Canada for work but he is also catching up with a school friend and his wife while they have the opportunity to be in Canada and so close. It's so wonderful to have skype that enables us to keep in touch no matter where he is in the world

So the good thing from today is that our son spoke to us today. We got our grocery shopping done. I had a an enjoyable half hour at gym this morning.

What I am grateful for today is that rain is falling on my garden -  and skype.

God in my life today is the rain that is falling, cool weather, money to buy food, good and plenty food to eat, my little white book I read for 6 minutes each night and my prayers I say each day.

"God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world. " Pope Benedict XVI when he visited Ground Zero on April 20 2008 -  where 2,750 beautiful people needlessly lost their life September 11 2001.
He also said: " Peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace among all nations of the earth."
Peace be with you .C
