I’m sure I’m not the only person feeling weary this week.
I can’t pinpoint the event that pushed me from tired to full, blown-out weary. At some point, I’d crossed over.
Challenges, like little knights atop armored steeds charging the castle, were aligning themselves across the horizon of Hibdonville.
I knew there was only one way to stop the charge. I had to gather up my blessings.
This is what I found. A picture of our friend, Dayne’s retirement.

Sometimes God gives me what I call a “pay attention to this because I am only going to do this once,” type of gift. This is how this “God Wink” played out.
I was up earlier than usual so I could finish up yard work before it got too hot. As my pre-work motivation, I’d given myself a few minutes of computer time. The first thing I saw that morning was a post written by Dayne’s daughter. Today was her Dad’s last day of work.
Our plans changed, thanks to Facebook. We flew into high gear and made it to the party with time to spare. This last-minute change fueled the details for one of my best memories. The priceless look of surprise on Dayne’s face, the laughter shared among old friends, and the pure joy of being there.
It was a day filled with gifts we all gave to each other and a gift appreciated again today.
I am…
B…simply being.
Love and peace Y’all.
