Northern MN: Day 8
Rest Day in Grand Rapids, MN
Saturday, June 28, 2017
Day started with great saying on coffee mug:
"Life isn't about waiting for storm to pass,
It's about learning how to dance in the rain."
Words for the day!
Breakfast, laundry, clothes draped on bikes,
Nap mid-morning.
Really didn't realize how we've run through our reserves.
Special outing today was
Lunch with long-time family friend
Libby Muir.
Mutually, we are all glad to be with each other.
Shared food,
Shared memories,
Shared connection.
Right now, I am swamped
By poignancy of change, reconnection,
Precious moments retelling stories.
Awareness that this moment is what we have.
Tinged with sadness,
Mostly with gratitude.
I send gratitude for
My connection with each of YOU.
Hugs,
Lin
We missed open hours at the imposing looking Grand Rapids library... Handsome place!
