Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I'm getting ready to go up to the cabin again, but it's hard to pull myself away from people and things to do down here.  There are birthdays coming up:  two of my good friends, and a grandson birthday, and a wedding, and a driving test at DMV and an eye injection and a trip to a bridal shower.  I have a quilt to sew and a poem to write and to select a song for the rehearsal dinner.  Now my blessing is these are all happy events, except maybe the DMV if I don't pass.  So one day at a time.  I have a list and like Santa's, I'm checking it twice.
To counter such buzz up, more meditation is in order, and a sense of humor and a few movies and mysteries.  I can see this through, if I keep my equanimity.  Or when I lose it, refocus and have some stillness.  I'm grateful for my practice.
