Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we went to the beach. There were not many people there because it’s Monday and everyone has gone back to work. The water looked lovely but it was cold! The water temperature had dropped by about 4 or 5 degrees and we noticed it! I still spent half an hour with the net in place and the north wind blowing fervent ripples towards the bay. It was easy swimming out to the barrel and harder swimming back. But look! It appears as calm and flat as a pond.
As we walked home we agreed coming down to the beach is like having an hour long holiday every day!
The micro-holiday over, we came home had breakfast and I worked. I also did a little bit more of the puzzle. Yesterday I did a chunk of it and now it’s the tricky bits, linking all the doors together.
I should finish it tomorrow. Talking of tomorrow, David has an appointment with a haematologist. I’m going to see if he can get a prescription for Low Dose Naltrexone. I think that may also help him. Today was a difficult day for him. He was so tired this evening. Before going downstairs, he said, “I don’t know what’s wrong with me,” but then immediately afterwards, “Well actually I do – I guess I have an inkling.” He still has his sense of humour, but it is so difficult to watch him struggle. This evening, as we were commiserating about how David was doing, this happened… look how big that rainbow is compared to Muizenberg mountain…
Psalm 24:1-2
The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it, for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
God is faithful.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
