I stopped and chatted with a neighbor when I was walking back from a doctor's appointment this morning. He has a several weeks old grandson and I have a few months old grandson and of course we showed each other photos on our IPhones. This is a part of technology I really appreciate. We discussed the wonders of grandparenthood and the joy these little beings give us. I seldom see him any more, but it's nice when we do have a chance to catch up. Our daughters were good friends in childhood and so we have a long history, even though now we no longer socialize. I felt good after this encounter, and was cheerful when I went into a store and bought hair barrettes. New hair barrettes are a tiny celebration of simple joy. This morning has been full of it. My doctor didn't need to do anything earlier than scheduled, and she was reassuring about my current issues. Nobody loves to see the doctor, but she's a great one if you need to go. Between her, my GP doctor, my eye doctor and my eye specialist, I am fortunate to be supported by wonderful people.
Now to the rest of the day, where I intend to be open to small encounters, surprise and blessings made visible.
