Water

I am thirsty. Water symbolizes new life, cleansing, and the fulfillment of God's promises. That means heaven to me.

I've been thinking about heaven alot.  I really really hope it's for real.  I read Heaven is for Real last year.  It reinforced my belief of heaven.  With the tragic death of my daughter Haylee, I NEED to believe.

So what does that mean...believing in heaven?  I think that it means believing in earth, in man, in land, and in water.  The earth is covered in water.  So water MUST be good!

It turns out, the earth is over 70% water!  That means that nearly three quarters of where we live is water.  Ummm....people...did you hear that?  We are small.  Water is BIG!  And so, I am at the lake ... again...at Wawasee.  I find peace here, at the edge of the water.

Twenty five years ago, I lived on the ocean in Virginia Beach.  I found peace, even within my individual turmoil, I found peace.  When I moved to Toledo, I drove to Maumee Bay, weekly, to find peace, in the water of Lake Erie.  Water is good.  Drink of it everyday!  And you too, will find heaven.

    Dear Mary, Water is indeed healing and is our baptism into eternal life.. When it rains think of it as Haylee bringing you new life from heaven. The amount of rain we have had in the past month surely most mean she is showering you with love. Continued prayers and love to you.

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
