Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My husband and I did our annual physicals this morning, but I'm not done.  I have to get a CT scan to check on my kidney stones.  My kind doctor spent a lot of time reassuring me about our daughter's cancer.  I appreciate it, because he is great at empathizing.  He offered anti-depressants as well.  I said I had my practice.  We had a lovely time for a week with our daughter, granddaughter and other kids and another grandson.  My daughter has lost her hair, but is gallant and energetic most of the time.  She is working and socializing and living her life passionately, as she has always done.  I will try to emulate her.  The holiday season is upon us, and I mailed holiday outfits to two grandchildren and a gift for my best friend's birthday today.  Next I will tackle Hanukkah and then Christmas.  In between is our younger daughter's birthday, our granddaughter's dad's birthday and another close friend's birthday.  Plenty to keep me busy and engaged and then there is the Christmas music, which I have on my radio in the car.  My granddaughter and I sang carols whenever we were in the car when we were together.  Fun!
