--Great joy in resuming Wednesday night dinners with Damon, Amy and family after an inspirational day at the temple. I'm two feet into the doorway and am ambushed by Ray: "Grandpa, will you play Mario Smash Bros. with me?" Hugs from Emma, Savannah, and Nolan; teenage-like Elli with an independent "Hi"; getting caught up with Damon and Amy after a tasty meal.
--Great walk this morning with my sister, Diane. Foggy, cold, brisk...good for the heart and the soul.
--Reading daughters-in-law blogs I am touched by the depth of their love for their husbands and children, the sacrifices they make, and the gifts and talents they share with others. The next generation is truly "in good hands", to borrow from Allstate.
--Practicing passages in "Yesterday" by the Beatles on classical guitar; measure after measure after measure; melody finally starting to emerge
--Praying today for the ability to love a little more deeply; forgive a little more quickly; and repent a little more profoundly
