Burnaby - Grateful

I am okay today.  I’m grateful for another sunny summer day.  I have slept well. I’m drinking Starbucks Odyssey coffee my neighbor Nicolina gave Laura when she was here motorhome sitting and caring for Madigan. I’m very grateful for such neighbors as Ernst and Nicolina.  I like seeing Mach and Kim most days.  I’ve seen Shane quite often.  Helena was beautiful on the weekend. She told me Dave came by but I missed him and look forward to seeing him,

It’s been a good week. The week has been good.  It’s the people and events,  I’m on my last day today of work.  

Monday was steady. Tuesday I drove the Mini with Madigan into the city.  We stopped at Bean cafe for the Moca, met Gary and Mary Lou and the other staff, I like them but feel guilty since I’ve not been there enough to remember their names. I met with Moninder and it’s been almost a year with one to go till I complete that commitment,  Thankfully there have been no problems. I also saw my medical legal case charged with sex offence.  Otherwise the day at Docside was routine,  

Back home I completed the day with phone calls and virtual.  I did a couple of long walks enjoying the Brunette River and birdwatching,

I’m continuing to listen to Jordan Perterson’s, audio book, We who wrestle with God  I’ve made no progress on my own book though my weekend with Apple retrieving files encouraged me to move forward,

My back continues to ache but much better than last year. I am planning a chiropractic visit.  I’m reestablishing some stretching in Thor after daily meditation.  I’m thankful for the routine,

Maizy has been born, a 8 lb some girl. Alan hasn’t slept and the two are happy.  Adell, the wonderful grandmother keeps me informed. 

I phoned Kevin and Agile Insurance has dropped the ball not forwarding approval these last two months when I didn’t know there was a delay. Thankfully I could call Thaun at Rand and McNally.  He said he’d called and encouraged them,  I’m just concerned that hunting season is approaching and I’ve made a commitment for a week of hunting in Clearwater.  Kevin says he’ll fit the work into his schedule once he has approval,  He’s booked months in advance so it’s annoying the insurance people are delaying,  All shall be well, 

Laura and I had hoped to take the Thor out for the Labor Day long weekend but all the places we’d hoped to camp at are booked,  I’m enjoying being here, I don’t need to leave ,  Staycation in paradise isn’t so bad.  It’s just nice to break from the routine. I am enjoying my Harley. This weekend I have to get my nails done and there’s a Sunday WDIR zoom meeting. I’d thought of church but that will wait another week. I’ve said I’m a summer pagan and winter Christian because I’d rather be in nature when the weather is good.,  

Last night I enjoyed my men’s meeting seeing Jack and Marty, Mario, Ward and George. George is taking his 49 year cake next week and I’m to give it to him,  I am so honored that I’m tongue tied thinking of the night. He’s such a mensch. So kind hearted too.

Thank you God for this day.  Thank you for all your blessings.
