It’s the close of a great day and the close of Holy Week. The comforting feeling that my Lord is in charge of my life and even more so now that today was my 69th birthday and I rely on the hand of my Lord on my shoulder to guide me everyday. So many things are changing in this world that I have no control over. It makes one feel very small and that’s o.k. I have just enough on my plate to allow me to feel very blessed, happy and content.

The day has been gray sprinkled with a few bursts of sun. Amazingly even the ice on the sheltered portion of the patio has given it up for the season. As a spring gift to self I have redecorated my living room. Martha Stewart: eat your heart out. No visit to Pier One Import or Walmart — just using what has been around for a bit in a unique way. Prep for Easter is under control and I am looking forward to enjoying a relaxing visit from family and grand pups. It’s time to take a bit of time outside as Easter Sunday and Monday are promised to be in the 30s for temps. Dang. Hurry up and wait.

This is the holiest of weeks and I feel a quiet within me that I would not mind staying within me every day. But the real world harkens and I am no different than anyone else allowing the most meager items that will spike my heart rate. I have found that when something does trigger my pulse to quicken I actually do talk to myself and assure the inner me that this is just a little glitch and in the scheme of things it’s going to be okay. There are so many instances in our lives when we need to realize that if it is not something we can control or change we need to let it go before we invest any more of our precious energy into a complete waste. My quest is to work very hard at quieting my heart during the meaningless challenges and save it for long lasting enjoyment of my family — now there is a great reason for the heart to swell as it fills with love. Out with the angst — in with the true joy of each day.

This is Palm Sunday and as I watch out the window the snow flakes are beautiful. A huge part of the appeal is knowing that it can’t last long. Holy Week always is an emotional week for me. The week represents what has been put in place by my Lord and Savior for the continuous forgiveness of my sins and weakness upon my own acknowledgement of them and then asking for that forgiveness. My Dad died on a Maundy Thursday during the Holy Week and that day is clearly etched in my heart. As this week brings so much peace to me a large part of that includes that my children are all working each and every day to enhance their lives and live as the Lord’s teaching has been instilled within them — each to their own abilities. So with that being said I am going to continue my day with a very light heart.
