The laughter of a Joyful friend

This photo shows the wing colors of a bird named Ferdinand who I sent to live in Colorado last year. He was gorgeous!
Though I am grateful to have had him and his sweetheart Isabella
I am now glad they are gone. They were screamers.
The neighbors here are now also grateful.

Today I began the day with a wonderful phone conversation with my Joyful friend.
She and I have a sisterly bond and I love to pray with her on the phone.
When I felt I could not face the day (today) I was pepped up by the Joyful one's
laughter and unique world view. She is as connected to the Spirit of God as she is to anything flesh and blood. I adore her.

I will hold onto hope today. Without hope I sink into the mud.
A little dose of hope carries me over hazardous terrain like a hot air balloon.

I am also glad for the laundry I will do after I shower and dress.
Getting it to and from the Laundromat is the big thing here.
Laundry is my Olympic event.
