I like to read the obituaries. I'm not sure why. I like to learn about lives well lived, the impact they've had on others. I like to know how long people are living and what they're dying from. I absolutely loved the photo included for this lady! It reminded of me of the poem "When I Am Old," by Jenny Joseph. For some reason I thought it referred to a purple hat - in fact the hat is red but the rest of her clothing is purple. Anyhow, good for Virginia for wearing her purple hat and to her family or friends who chose to use it as her obituary photo!
Speaking of inspiring ladies... DD participated in her first Cross Country event. It was a beautiful day and a scenic location. I am proud of her for trying out, practicing, and doing her best. She was 67th in the group of Grade 4 girls, which I think was around the 75%
This week also included a trip to DS2's school open house, where he was excited to bring his math workbook out of his locker to show me his work.Dinner with friend "J" to celebrate her milestone birthday.
Not pictured:
Piano lessons for DS2, DS3, and DD; a trip to the optician to get glasses ordered for DS1 and DS2; swimming lessons for DS3 and DD; meeting with teacher and principal at one of the kids' schools to discuss their listening habits; Autism Ontario parent support group meeting; phone call with a child's teacher about work habits; playdate on the Friday PA day; visit to chiropractor for all of us.
A visit from Grampa, who tries to come over once a month to hang out with the kids and us. He brought me the rocks he had brought home from a trip to Ghana this year. I had DH break them up so I can leave them on my loved ones' gravesites bit by bit.
A good talk with a couple of children's ministry workers at church about how introverts experience church.
