alan.fly,
Hi there,
No news from anybody during the past week and as they say “ no news is good news”… so I am at ease.
And if there had not been good news then here is something that might help.
We do not have much choice about what comes our way… but we do have a choice about how we respond to it so go ahead and say “howdy” back. That’s if you want to, of course.
Not much came my way during the major part of last week. During this week-end there was a rush though.
Yesterday afternoon a talk on “optimizing survival strategies” to a batch of college students… went off well. In the evening there was a two hour session with about 35 confirmation students of two parishes. It felt like I was giving a talk in a graveyard! Today morning another two hour talk to the same group followed by mass. Today was better. The corpses rose from their tombs and responded a little bit. I continued my “howdy” to them and the situation and I ended up feeling good. In the afternoon I went to a municipal school. About 30 of my SSL students were spending the whole of Sunday painting the walls of the school… painting learning things like planets and animals and clocks and numbers etc.
I said “howdy” there too and returned about 4pm. Slept for about two hours and then got back to my usual life.
Monday again tomorrow… and as I have been doing for quite a while now …YYYAAAAYYYY ! Howdy Monday!
And for tomorrow…
to Anoushka!
May you continue growing up beautifully!
And “Thank you God for the occasional rain. Maybe you could send down a little bit more over the coming week?”
All otherwise well. Teachers’ Day coming up on Saturday. I have written a song for it and some of us fathers will perform. Maybe we will put it up on Youtube… I will send you the link if we do.
Take care. Stay well and more barrels of fun to all of you.
Love, Terence
