What occupies my heart

This evening, I had planned to go for a swim and then meet a friend.
My friend called to say he had to work (sigh - I was looking forward to the meeting). And then, just as I was about to make my way to the swimming pool, it started to rain.

So here I am, home early (for a change) and hmmm... with little mood to do anything except plonk myself in front of the TV. Enjoyed a good video (hahaha... had a good cry over a poignant part in the movie. It's a wonder how I can watch the same movie over and over again and still cry over the same part!)

Made a phone call to a friend I hadn't talked to for a long time.

And now, here I am, by force of habit, seated in front of the computer (again).

Tomorrow, I take my two nephews to watch the movie, Shrek II.

King Solomon at the end of his life said, "He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart." - Ecclesiastes 5:20

God indeeds keeps me occupied with gladness of heart. This has been a great day ;-)

A precious lesson in love

I am learning the precious lesson of putting the needs of my loved ones above myself. Expectations run high, I have my own ocean of needs screaming to be met...

I took time to listen to the ones I love... it puts things into perspective. To love is to put their needs ahead of mine.
