76 of 100 ... Catchup #3 for Sunday (Jun29)

We were going to head home today but my camping colleague came forth ... for all her complaining about how dirty she is and how stressed she was, she wanted to stay for another day! Obviously, I said yes. :-) Who knows, I might not get out again this year.


Moments of Gratitude for Sunday

Today, Sunday June 29, I am grateful for ...


1.  the wonderful conversation I had with VG today.  There is something about human contact that is so crucial to life, and with so few people in my world right now, I forget the impact of human touch until it happens.  A simple hug, and I almost broke-down.  To anyone who reads this, let me encourage you to look around your life, and at the people that are in it ... people that walk into your room, people that complain about something, people who sit with you and watch TV or crawl into bed with you at night, people who hug you when they need a hug and when you need one.  And ... imagine what would happen if all those people were gone. I hope you are grateful for all the people you have in your world.  I hope they're grateful for you.  And for me, I was just really grateful to connect with someone in a natural, normal, friendship way today.
2.  the banter with the campground workers.  VG is definitely a more extrovert than I am and I enjoyed witnessing the banter between her and the truck that came to pick up pay.
3.  McDonald's food!  I got sent into Cochrane for a few things and took a moment to get something decadent from McD's ... I don't remember the last time I did this and it will likely be just as long before I go there again, so it was a lovely treat today!
4.  not much rain (until the evening).  The day was actually quite beautiful! I also came up with an idea for my camp chair and rain.  I had a large black plastic bag in my stuff and when I pull the chair together, I could put the bag over and keep the chair dry! Perfect!!
5.  going to sleep at night and listening to the rain on the tent roof! Cozy in my new sleeping bag, snuggled so only my nose pokes out, and the continual pitter-patter on the roof.  Soothing me into a fantastic sleep!
