Read from the book, On Hope by Josef Pieper, early on, where he's talking about our pilgrimage on earth (status viatoris) and how one way (death) or the other (Union with God), our being 'on the way' ends.

Awesome book, to be read every day, and not taken lightly, nope.

^^ I just saw it's you; how've you been--I missed, have worried a bit about you, and your friend, family--glad you're here! :thumbsup:

Put heating pad on behind, on my back: geez-a-lou, chronic pain--late at night, especially--I could do without, yup.

^^^ Hey, Sweet Lady

I just got on here... I have a heating pad on same as last time but I feel better--I've been able to get out for short walks two or three days in a row, and that (the sunshine, birds, trees, air--warm weather...) has helped,

plus Daily Devotion revved up today: Lots of prayer and Bible study and other books like Josef Pieper's On Hope, and The Way of a Pilgrim (written by an anonymous Russian in the 1800s about praying without ceasing, using The Jesus Prayer), and Josef Pieper's, The Four Cardinal Virtues, and Bible, Bible, Bible :)

Right before I got on here I put down a hat I'm almost done loom-knitting and ate half an apple (gave the other half to my husband) and a slice of homemade pumpkin bread cuz I was famished and grouchy, and now I'm happy (like a kid) :thumbsup:

Took care of my wife's needs, and questions.

Just came home from work, pampered her and asked
what she needed, talked to her, heard her day.

Really listened, cared and asked how I could help.

She just wanted to share, and needed someone to listen.

Thank you Holy One, that after 33 years of marriage I have learned
this.

I know better than to superficially listen, but just listen with all my being,
offer advice, help and most times she does not want help, but
just wants to share.
