As an addendum to yesterday's comments, Bill never showed up for breakfast with hubby. They were to meet at 7:30AM. At 8:00AM, hubby was texting him. A bit later Bill text'd him back with "I forgot. I didn't put it in my phone." Hubby went ahead and ate breakfast - alone - and came home. Yeah, there definitely seems to be some problems with Bill's memory; this is not the first time. Even when he puts it in his phone, he forgets to look.
That's why I like paper calendars. I don't use the phone calendar. I try to stay off my phone. It's supposed to be for my convenience, not necessity. I write everything on my calendar, and if I'm afraid I will forget, I will write it on a sticky note and put it where I will see first thing. For example, I knew last Wednesday I was meeting my boss for breakfast. I also knew I would not be looking at my calendar for the day until about 6:45AM when I would be getting on my computer to work. So that I wouldn't forget I need to stop my quiet time a little early so that I could clean up for our meeting, I wrote myself a note and laid it on the table beside my chair. I don't look at my phone in the mornings as a rule so I make reminders for myself (always have, always will) so that I know what is important to me. And it works for me.
Yesterday was a very slow day at work. My one boss only had a couple meetings all day and she was taking off early for a personal appointment. My other boss had several meetings, but then was taking off around 2:30PM for a personal appointment. So I told them both that since it was slow, and since they were taking off for personal appointments early afternoon, so was I. After all, it was Good Friday, I told them, and that was my excuse. So I did. I got up from the computer about 2:30-ish and hubby and I went to Olive Garden for a late lunch/early dinner. I wasn't that hungry, but ate soup and salad; hubby got the (ugh) eggplant. It was nice that there was not a lot people there at that time. And, daggone it, they have a lunch special Monday-Friday from 11-3PM, and we got there at 3:01PM. I could have saved $2 on my soup and salad (endless) - and get for $9.99 instead of the $11.99 that I ended up paying for it. But that's ok.
I don't think there is anything on the calendar for today. I need to 'work' on my garden bed. Some bugs/worms keep eating all my garden. I'm going to fix up a mixture of dish soap and water and spray on what is left, hoping it will save some. I'm down to one lettuce from 5, I think. But two of the cherry tomato plants have little tomatoes on them! The others may have one or two flowers on them, but that's it. I may have to give up on a vegetable garden... and next year plant flowers - will see. Or maybe I'll try again. It's just disappointing that worms/bugs are eating everything up. I'll check them out again today.
Zephaniah 3:17: "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing."
"Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love, and the future to God's providence." St. Augustine.
I am grateful for God's mercy over my past. I am thankful for God's love for today,. And I am trusting my future to God's providence. How are you doing with all that? Something to think about.
And... I got nothing else for this morning.... I'm just enjoying the quiet of the morning for just a few more minutes before I have to come out of my room.
Have a blessed day!
