Day 31

I have been blessed with another day to get my ten things done. I was able to get done a little earlier . I have only 69 more days to go. I almost a third of the way there. I would like to thank all of you who have been encouraging to me. It has kept me going.


I memorized two more Spanish words today. I seem to struggle a little bit with saying the r's correctly. I will get there. I practiced the piano today a little too long again. It is going well. Right now I am listening to Pachelbel in Canon D. I will be so thrilled when I can play it . The first time I really sat and listened to it was outside the mall at a table at the River walk in San Antonio.  It was still early in the day so there were few people at the mall. Ken and I went and bought a couple of latte's and went and sat by the water , it was very peaceful and cute little birds were walking around by our feet. I was sitting and enjoying my coffee and admiring the architectural work when all of a sudden the most beautiful music I had ever heard came out of speakers around the river and the building. I couldn't move I just sat there with my eyes closed  as if i were in a trance. I could feel every note as it was being played. I didn't want to leave. I could have sat there all day.

I worked on my algebra today and read my books. I did a little organizing and I decided to add more to the poem I was writing yesterday. I didn't feel like it was quite finished. I even planned healthier meals. I have enjoyed cooking since I was a child. I think I first became interested in cooking in first grade when we made stone soup in class. When we played house outside I used every plant for an herb and I would create some muddy dish. My sister reminded me on Thanksgiving of the toxic mushrooms I fed her and my cousin. My sister liked mushrooms and we had quite a few in our yard. So when we were playing house I chopped some up and had them eat them. When we went in the house they told Mom they ate mushrooms and she ran and looked outside and then grabbed the encyclopedia to look them up and called poison control.They were slightly toxic. My sister and cousin had to drink ipecac and got sick. Needless to say I was not too popular that day. I really am sorry Cari. I am surprised you still love mushrooms :)

Grace and peace to you from God the father and the Lord Jesus Christ.   2 Thessalonians 1:2
