Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I've had so much to do after arriving home that I forgot to write in my blog yesterday! Being gone a month means things stack up and we had to re-supply ourselves and return calls and order medications and check in with friends. My aunt died while I was away and I still don't know the status of my cousin, as no one is picking up her land line or cell, so I sent a note via mail yesterday. I had people to thank for gifts and lists to make. Today we took one of our cars in for service and Monday we bring in the other. In the midst of all this: joy. Our granddaughter got her first covid vaccine shot yesterday, which is such a relief and will mean she can socialize with her friends, and at 13 that's the whole ball game. Today's news about not needing to mask is terrific, and I've already walked with two good friends maskless unless we were close to someone. I want to go to a couple of grocery stores, a bookstore, and buy Moroccan oil for my hair! Yesterday I strolled my one year old grandson without a mask and played with him in his backyard without a mask. I even picked him up, which I've not done except once since he's been born. My women's group will meet in a little over a week and we can actually hug each other! There are plenty more challenges out there for us, but for now, I'm going to enjoy the reprieve for a while.
