| am I too nice? |
I've decided that I'm too nice. Either that, or I just don't know how to shut my mouth sometimes.
I was having a nice conversation with a patient today, trying to encourage her since she was having to stay longer than expected. Chatting about where she lived, where I lived. Turns out her mother owned a house down the street from me. In the process of figuring out where I lived, she made reference to a cemetary that is a block or so away. And told me that her husband is buried there ... and she has a plot right next to him, all ready for her. I asked her what his name was ... and she said he was Polish and she was German. Funny, but I'm Polish and German! So we laughed about that. Then she said that she was upset because she couldn't go visit his grave this year, due to all her health problems. And then somehow I found myself offering to go to her husband's gravesite and put flowers on it! I'm not really sure why or how it happened. But she was so excited about the idea that I think I really do have to go now. :) hehe. I love when I can make connections with people.
We had community group tonight. Tom made up a game to play outside, so here is a picture from that. Bee and Tracy brought ice cream and whatnot for sundaes, so that was exciting.
I got home tonight and there was a message on the answering machine that said, "hi, I just wanted to know if you still sharpen saws. Call me." So unless my dad has some sort of undercover saw-sharpening business ........... wrong number???? :) hehe |

Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
