What a night of rain we had! And it's still raining. The Pond is as full as I've ever seen it. The center willow tree is probably in standing water now! Can't see for the tall grass at the edge of the pond, but for sure it's close! The lowest spot on the dam looks to be about a foot above the water. And, the wind - the chimes have been singing all night and still are. What a delight! I am excited about having another day to watch the rain and read, cook something new (Garbanzo chocolate cake) to welcome my Pod Sisters on Thursday and Friday for the weekend, and just BE.
My eye doctor told me yesterday I am not suffering from an allergy but "dry eyes" that have caused my eyelids to fill with fluid and look AWFUL. They've come back to almost normal now. The interesting thing about this is what Luke and I agreed - all illnesses are either "Weight related" or "Age related." What a bummer when one gets told "yes, you'll have to use these drops the rest of your life." I'm not gonna tell you the name - you see it on TV all the time! Surely there is some kind of curative action one can take? Like drinking more water? As a matter of fact, I have been drinking a lot more water in the last couple of weeks (keep a pint jar with me all the time now) and I suspect it has helped. Believe me, I'm just so grateful for an annoying ailment rather than a killing one! And an ailment for which there is a treatment! I thank God every day for the healthy body I have.
I don't have any great message for today - just BEING.
