Falling Leaves
An old friend of mine, a relative really, is spending the weekend with me. Actually she is spending 2 nights and 1 day since she is heading out today, Sunday, to spend time with her friend who is celebrating her birthday with a tea party. It has been a bit of a taxing period, these 2 nights and 1 day because as she puts it " I cannot tell Monday from Friday". So while I should be in church this morning, she has awakened feeling very confused and embarassed and also a bit angry with herself for those previously described states, thus I sit with her as the dawn breaks, hoping my presence may act as a calmative. I had an older friend who would relate to me what her mother once told her, that is, and here I paraphrase, that you should get rid of your bad habits before you get old or else they would rule you and ruin your life and that of those around you. That would mean that I have to work on building my self-confidence and getting rid of my temper - big jobs indeed
