Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I'm attempting to get back into the blog, after our dog dying suddenly, a wedding, fires threatening our older son's house, and other monkey wrenches thrown up in the air.  The wedding was beautiful, and I believe the couple was thrilled.  They are off on their honeymoon now, and hopefully blissful and rested.  Our guests are departed, our ordinary lives perhaps about to resume.  Or not.  We both miss our dog, and we are exhausted.  We are babysitting our grandson this week as his nanny is on vacation, and he's probably the best tonic.  We take him to the park and watch him watch the older children and play with trucks and walkers.  He loves wheels and pushing toys and can stand and walk holding onto a toy.  The wheels are churning his his rapidly growing brain.  He also has a new interest in being read to and is mimicing us in a delightful way.  He grounds us.  Our time with him is all about the simple and necessary.  Bigger issues must be put aside.  And that allows us to slowly absorb all that has happened in the last two weeks.
