Off to South Beach


Brother Jim was here Tuesday and Wednesday nights. As usual, we came up with a small project - this time, putting up clear vinyl film over the big window to help keep out the cold. And,we did one small bedroom window first to learn how. Now, I'm eager to get all the rest done! But not now. Today I'm preparing to leave tomorrow for Hilton Head for a final (I hope) week of recovery. Yesterday surgeon seemed pleased with progress. I'll see him again in three weeks.


My plan for the coming week away is to once again get deeply into my spiritual seekings. Somehow the last few weeks have been concentrated on Thanksgiving holiday and surgery recovery. Why is it that we allow ourselves to slip back into "everyday life in the ordinary world" and ignore our yearnings for the deeper self? Even after we learn that true joy lies in the Self. My first attempts at going deeper were at South Beach in Sea Pines at Hilton Head in 1996. I am returning to the same place for renewal. The key word for now is lovingkindness - theme our Spiritual Sisters study group is exploring.


But, for now, to town to get the 4-runner serviced, to purchase yarn for "knitting while reflecting", and picking up prescription, ---getting it all together to be away. Stay with me. I'll keep writing.
