Started the day routinely. The Wii says my weight is headed back down -- amazing what happens when I just pay attention to what I am eating, and when. Realized I could get about an hour in the back yard-- there was some trimming that I kept walking by -- and it didn't trim itself. So I got some more result of the freeze out of sight, got those trimmings and those that Josh had left in the wagon all in the trash cans. Missed the timing on the recycle guy -- so that will have to wait until next Thurs. Just had time to shave and shower and get to Dr. Suzanne's on time. The adjustment was pretty routine -- which is a good thing. Went straight to Dr. Sue. She is something else. Her ability to pick up on what issues I am really facing during this time is magnificent. She gave me some good coaching on finding ways to take care of my body and my spirit and let myself be more transparent to others. I hope I don't chicken out -- and I am very sure that if I do, Sue will be right there to nudge me back on the path. If sharing of herself and her observations were not enough, she proceeded to give me one of her great therapeutic massages that is what Margaret and I went to her for.
Got home in time to grab a snack, and prepare for the meeting with William F. He was on time, and we spent two hours being creative and looking at ways we might combine the software he has written to help students with their applications and College Guidepost, which is a "Lesson Plan" for the four years of high school, culminating in the student finding the education beyond high school where he/she can be successful, and the money to pay for it. The agenda was exploratory, and William pushed me to broaden my horizons to get back to the national/international scale that we had initially talked about for the Web site, but did not get beyond the local market. What an exciting conversation -- and can potentially provide me with a vehicle to share with others what Margaret and I learned together.
My dinner was all ready (a duplicate of Tuesday's lunch) and I thought that maybe I would get to bed early, since I was up late last night, and rolled out this morning at the usual time. Sue reminded me that part of taking good care of my body includes getting enough sleep--which hasn't been happening for about the last 4 or 5 months.
Then I decided I was going to get the slide show done of Margaret's Commitment service. I got started and now it's a little after 1 am and I hear the bed calling me: But the slide show is done to my satisfaction. I had gone by the church today to take some photos of Margaret's plaque on the Columbariam. I'll look at the whole thing tomorrow morning, and get Lee's help in adding it to this blog. Now that I have figured out how to get the albums created, I will be using this blog to archive more of the great pictures that have come in.
