It wasn’t a great day, but I am to be commended for handling all that came my way with aplomb and vigor. It could have been that tonight it’s a full moon. I was driving home and I saw it, bigger than life – it was in the pink of the setting sun.

This did make me think that we really do live in the most beautiful of places – I heard on the radio today that there are many, many universes, and likened them to slices of bread. I understood this analogy.

I could not find my wallet this morning, so I could not vote. It’s here in the house someplace – I didn’t have the time to look for it because I spent the time that I would have spent looking for it taking Tyra and the dogs for a walk.

I am worried about her – her energy level does seem to be dropping. And she is discharging considerable amounts of fluid.

I left a message tonight for our veterinarian asking him to let us know what became of the fecal samples that we left with him. He is on vacation until November 10, so the waiting game continues.

I was late getting out of here – I did some distributing and then went to the Palmer Lions Club meeting. I put in a request for $700.00 for Legos and bean bag chairs. Another individual put in a request for $200.00 for books for the Palmer Senior Center library – she is going to make a nook with children’s books.

I got to the former banquet room of the historic Eagle hotel – one volunteer was already there. We worked together very well, for which I was grateful. I am going to have to thank her. I think it’s important to thank people, which is a lot of what I do.

I am now short on children’s books, and they are now in demand. I got a request from a Headstart program in Bethel – they want ten boxes. And boxes are in demand by the Alaska Family Services upcoming Secret Santa event. And there is another event coming up in late November. We’ve never before had a book shortage.

The problem is that this matter rests entirely on my shoulders. There I just used writing to problem solve. Okay. I’ll send good out into the universe and see if good in the form of books returns.

There was a not so good moment in communicating with a BLPB board member. I have now have several spiritual advisors who would say see the best in this person, send her love and kindness – but to me, this is analogous to beating my head against the wall.

I did well in just ignoring this individual’s request. Maybe finally, at an advanced age, I am growing up.
