Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

It's cold here today, but I went for a walk with my daughter and her eleven month old. We admired yards - everyone's doing succulents after all the drought issues we have, and chatted away while my grandson in his stroller chimed in to keep us company. He's almost walking and actually took several steps when we were back on the deck in the sun. When I returned home, I decided to make lentil soup, and threw in carrots, onions, garlic, yukon gold potatoes, celery and two sliced beef hot dogs. Hearty fare for a winter day. Then, in a moment of grace, I discovered cornbread in the freezer and set it out to thaw. Cornbread, hot with butter, is there anything more divine? So dinner is all set and it's two pm. I'm so brilliant I can hardly stand myself. The wind is kicking up, so the cold is going to get worse, but I'm culinarily prepared!
