Missed walking this morning – crazy day all in all. Started out with a backed up drain – Hempfield Township came out at 8am and checked their lines, which were open. So I had a drain plumber come and snake out my inside lines. They are clear now, but had a sticky wicket of tangled tiny roots. Ugh. Glad the process was a success but the laundry room was a mess. Took me an hour to scrub and clean and sweep – and still have to wash a few throw rugs. Double Ugh.
Chrissy came over and helped me make cookies – to freeze. I found a little beanie baby (which she collects) so she was glad to trade her cookie baking assistance for the blue baby! It’s 9:30pm and I missed dinner – I’ll eat something light and call it a night.
Di txt me as asked me to go with her in the morning for a hike on the Ghost Town Trail – so something different – yea!
I will share Mike’s message from HCC. It was basically how to deal with conflict, and here are the 7 points: 1) Expect it (it’s inevitable) 2) Deal with it (don’t ignore it – things get worse if you do) 3) Control your anger – we often make bad decisions in anger 4) Listen to the other side – that’s not easy! 5) Invite wise council (don’t try to figure this out on your own) 6) Look to the Bible – it holds all the wisdom we need. 7) Compromise – hardest of all! Get rid of what’s holding you down and follow Jesus. Don’t ever make it difficult for anyone to come to God!
On this day in 1493 Christopher Columbus discovered Puerto Rico, and in 1805 Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean, the first European Americans to cross the west. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address “Four score and seven years ago, our fathers…”. In 1990 Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder Barry Bonds won NL MVP. Charles Manson died at age 83 in 2017. James A Garfield – 20th president – was born in 1831, Calvin Klein in 1942, Meg Ryan in 1961, and Jodie Foster in 1962. And my friend and one of our country’s newest official citizens, Louise Henry, is celebrating a birthday. Happy birthday, Louise! Enjoy many, many American more!!!
