mix-mash day

Today has been a mix-mash day of a meeting with ecumenical partners in a project this morning, carolling with council staff at Thames View Lodge this afternoon and this evening a fish n' chip meal at Rose's home with other Rotarian wives.

It has been an enjoyable day but sleep will not come easy tonight because there is so much going around in my head. The way forward for the ecumenical partnership which I have been working within for the last four and half years, listening to a resident tell me of the death of her 46 year old daughter a few years ago followed by her husbands a few months later, meal this evening within Rose's home (Rose's husband, John, died two months ago). A few of us felt it important to be with, support and share with Rose especially as we are coming up to Christmas - so we ordered fish n' chips and enjoyed each others company.

I'm going to give the kitchen a good clean now - surprisingly, somehow, that does seem to straighten my thoughts out!! and maybe it will enable me to have a peaceful night.

I hope you've had a good day too?
