In Downton Abbey the old grandmother had a great question that summed up the whole series for me. The occasion was some sort of uprising by the staff when they were advocating for a weekend off and she asked, “What’s a weekend?” But we know what a weekend is, not that it is as important as it once was before working on computers and flextime and all that revolution.
I went to church last night for the celebration of the Feast of the Lady of Guadalupe. It was rather subdued compared to celebrations other years but sweet none the less. I do enjoy the Mexican families and this is one of their big events.
Back to Caminoheads news, someone asked about the dates for the 2020 Veranda celebration. Let me put those down here and they are August 21-24th. Some folks have already included themselves. Cris from Buenos Aires is in and also Steve Watkins and possibly Dana Watkins from Arkansas. And I plan on being there. So, that is all a great start!
But we have a lot of living in the present to do before August. Speaking of which, author and speaker Terry Hershey was here to spend the evening. He has a new book out which he kindly left a copy for us. It is entitled This is the Life – Mindfulness, Finding Grace and the Power of the Present Moment. Yea, I am just in it a few pages as of the moment but will talk about as I go.
I am really late on this post today. I had some problem with the new computer earlier but Catherine helped me straighten that out. I am pretty darn helpless on my own with technology but that is what friends are for.
OK, time for dinner with My Rebecca. Keep going, it is worth the effort.
dinner time loves, Felipé.
No way I would miss it!!!!!!!!
Patiently waiting Veranda 2020 loves,
Cris
Cris ~ I wish I could send a salve to hurry time. Yes, but our job is to savor the moment, these last few days of darkness for us are here. But still we are drawn to the timeless Camino spirit and long to be there. Alperfect, Felipé.x
