We took mother for a check-up yesterday evening, a follow-up to her overnight stay in ICU last Monday (wow, a week ago already). Dr R ordered Xrays, and later, was pleased to tell us her lungs had cleared, and that he would be able to reduce her medication.
Meanwhile, it’d started to rain (cats and dogs, kittens and puppies) and we worried how to get mother to the car without getting her wet. I walked out of the clinic to check on the rain and saw a familiar figure off to one side. Took another look. It was the young man who’d done mother’s Xrays earlier. He was taking a break … a smoking break.
WHAT? 
How can some people be SO stupid?

Met up with Marita for dinner yesterday evening, and had the pleasure of superkumquat’s company, too.
We not only had dinner, we shared in one another’s dinners, too, which seems the right thing to do somehow.
Over dinner, we talked about various things - Janis Ian, for one *big grin* - and as we are all bloggers (blog-keepers?), so by and by, the talk turned to this thing we do online.
Marita said something which has been on my mind all evening since we parted and all night up to now, too. She said we should uplift with our blogs.
It’s such a simple statement, yet it answers the one question we all ask when we decide to start a blog - what do I blog about.
Bloggers blog for different reasons. But for me, I am embracing what Marita said yesterday evening - I want to uplift with my blog. Well, I want to write about what I care about, and in doing so, I hope it brings a smile to my friends and anyone who comes by here. I think I do that sometimes when I share pictures of my stress busters.
Yes, from now on, I will try to uplift with my blog. Not all the time, but as much of the time as I can.
My apologies if this entry is a little muddled. *points to time at top of entry*
Yeah, late … or early …

Got this off David Clark’s weblog.
UCC’s TV Ad
When I first read David’s description of the ad, I thought it meant the church advocated the exclusion of certain groups of people. Then I read on, and realised what it meant.
It’s a powerful message.
What would Jesus do?
Or rather, what He didn’t do.
He didn’t turn them away.
