Who woulda thunkt??

I’m tired of reading - tired of sleeping - and yep - tired of being alone!! Two days only and I’m anxious to get back to ‘normal’, whatever normal is…

Surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn cartilage - and I don’t know which is worse - not being able to walk because of injury or not being able to walk because of healing - well, I guess I’ll go for the last option.

When I last wrote about ‘retreading’ I had no idea that I would be doing exactly that with my knee. Coincidence? My last day of serving the congregation before retirement and the first day of mucho discomfort in my knee?? Dis- ease has a way of forcing us to stop - slow down - and I guess the Holy Spirit knows better than I that unless forced to do so - I’ll make excuses. There is a lesson here somewhere in this transition between not well and well, in more ways than one. A time to heal physically - and a time to heal emotionally & spiritually. A time to reflect and a time to discern what might be next - another chapter opening, another first step on this journey that is my life - another ‘Yes - send me.’

But in the meantime I’ll be consoled by the fact that I am now on one crutch instead of two!!
