I will greet members at our Rocklin Fine Arts Member Show and Marketplace today. The day will be long. Even though I only get to greet customers for a couple of hours, I stay for the artists' reception where I hear the People's Choice Award and watch the raffle drawing. In the evening, we pick up our unsold artwork.
After getting home, I'll probably make hamburgers for dinner, prepare our grocery list for the week, and take the waste and recycling carts to the curb.
I pray and read each morning and look forward to walking with the women from Bayside Church tomorrow. They are a good group of people.
I need to call my mom's cataract surgeon. My mother's medical information is not accessible to me. So, I need my big brother to retrieve the data and fill me in or for Kaiser to mail me some hard copies. It's a troublesome timewaster since my mom gave up her smart phone. I believe in giving people as much independence as they can handle. I believe it's pertinent for our mental health.
I am also posting a photo a day for the American Cancer Society. Click here to see my posts. And today, I will post a photo entitled "A Quiet Moment". I love my quiet moments.
I also walk with a group from Fair Oaks. They are a really nice bunch as well.
In between all this good stuff, I weave in putting away the clean clothes and clean bathrooms. While waiting for an oil underpainting to dry, I may clean out the craft supplies in the art studio. The grandkids don't come over to do crafts any more. One is a reader. The other is into basketball. I have stacks of books for them, however we don't have room for a basketball hoop here. He has his own at home.
I also take my mom to her medical appointments. I am her only offspring that drives. Don't want to place that responsibility on my awesome sister-in-love. She already fulfilled her calling with her family of origin.
I am also preparing for next year's MendingtheSoul.org Basic Support Group. I am a facilitator. I meet with each interested person to see if the group is a good fit for them at this time. And if it's not, I don't actually refuse services to the person, I just refer them to something more fitting during this period in their lives. It's a group for women who have survived abuse. There are groups for men as well. I just wouldn't be their facilitator.
Well, the husband is awake and my quiet time has ended. I get nice greetings every morning and then the laundry is started and the television is turned on. It's a creativity stopper. SO, I will pray that you have a good end to your month of October as well.
