I awakened before the sun came up (practically everyone does since the sun doesn't get up very early) with a migraine. The ones that wake me are the most tenacious. I took something and puttered around awhile until it started to work....then went back to bed! It is never a good thing to start out the week by sleeping in.
But by the time I got up it was gone. The blessings of living in today's world. Imitrex is right up there with deodorant....air conditioning....pest control....washing machines....you get the idea.
Other than squandering the first half of the day....it was a good one. Our time at the center was spent with several good young people. I am positively delighted by them.
Our Family Home Evening lesson was given by Robert, a young American here until the end of the year studying and seeing the world. He is nice-looking, intelligent, spiritual and so pleasant. He has been coming consistently to the center for several months and fits into the group well. They all seem to enjoy him....he has a wonderful sense of humor...a very quick wit. He spoke about prayer and fasting and inspired me to want to do better at both.
Afterwards, tables were set up and games scattered around. One young woman put out a 1000-piece puzzle. I couldn't resist sitting down and working on it with her.....which coincidentally gave me a ring-side seat to see and hear several young people playing a loud game of something or other. They were cracking jokes so fast I almost didn't get them.....and some (I must admit) I didn't get. In case you are wondering, they were speaking English because Robert was there.
A few games of CRUD were in order, since the table will not be removed for a couple of weeks yet.
Their laughter is fun. They were having a great time, they were entirely sober and it was all clean and good-natured fun. Sometimes on the late-night walks home, I see people who have been out having "fun" and are drunkenly staggering home or somewhere, looking like they are having anything but fun.
Waking up with a headache is no fun. Why would you drink knowing you will wake up with that kind of pain?
Headaches? Cannot relate - but sure glad you got rid of that migraine so quickly. Anything to eat tonight?? Hope so. Sounds like they - and you - all had a great time. What a support you are! L&P
ReplyDeleteYes...we had some wonderful pastry made by our young baker...she did a great job, and then another young woman made some cookie sandwiches that were very Danish and very awesome. L&P
