A Month's Worth
Monday, April 3rd, 2006 09:27 pmSome of this stuff is a repeat for regular readers here, but this is the update I sent out to my family's yahoogroup today:
Well, as you can see below, Wayne has gently kicked me in the butt to get me to post an update about ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
barley52 (thanks, Wayne). The real kicker is, Aunt Jean had to call this weekend and ask for an update to get me to sit down and type. Sorry about that.

Sorry about that.For my part, I've been on the receiving end of such kindness from so many people from strangers to dear friends, that I find myself attempting to be more patient with other people, and more giving of warmth, affection and kindness. I'm finding a lot of wisdom in the motto "love shared is love multiplied." Today was the first work day after the time change, and it was truly a delight to be able to take a walk after dinner (after 7 pm), with the sun above the horizon the entire time. Mavis joined B and me for the 'short block,' ~ half a mile, which we had to do at B's reduced pace, but that just means we had more time in the sun :) We talked baseball strategy for most of the way (the new season is now underway), because B and Rupert are co-managing a fantasy league team. B used to do this yearly, back in SC, but had dropped it. He got back into it this season at my urging. I figure if you've got to be cooped up in the house, you might as well have something fun to pass the time with. Baseball is his favorite pastime, so.... brilliant, right?
Ok, I guess that's a month's worth. I'll try to do better in the future, but no guarantees. After all, I'm related to people who take 3 yrs to write a letter, then give it up for a phone call <wicked grin>. /family post
I've got stacks of old holiday cards that have handwritten messages in them, but never got addressed and stamped. You'd think that would be the easy part! LOL So, LJ pals, you can see that this format has actually improved my communication skills. OR at least it has increased the frequency of communications, FWIW.
