I am working on being more mindful- poetry helps. Time to prepare helps. The stress of readiness seeps into my world, sigh...but I embrace the time and place and quiet and pause. A very productive church meeting provided a number of pearls today- God gives us the time we need to do what he needs us to do. Ahhhh....I always think I need another hour in my day, day in my week, week in my month. This is an answer to that feeling and I'm grateful.
Baskets are waiting- I think I may delight a few, we'll see. I had fun shopping and selecting, supporting some local and maintaining tradition. We'll see. I set the table with help- Peter and Sally asking about our wedding China. Spode- once I saw it I knew. It is best for spring and Easter. It delights me year around- 20 years later. Works' glass for water and decor- eggs and tumblers- color to pop and pull the floral shades. Kitchen time to meet the needs of our guests- veggie lasagna for Easter? Veggie for our vegetarian, veggies for spring, white sauce to compliment the ham.
I'll sign off for now, I need to update my plan and explore some instructions. No, we're not having pepperoni rolls, just dinner rolls. My plan was to eat early, our additional guests give me the time I desire- the day will lengthen. Thanks be on this eve. This eve of a new beginning in our lives on Newark-Granville road, ready to welcome and celebrate, grateful for the preparation.
