Day 2

It is with a heavy heart I am writing today's post. A friend of ours who used to worship with us passed away this afternoon. She had a long battle with cancer and for her sake, I am glad she is no longer in pain. She is with her Savior whole and happy. I have only seen her once since she moved. She was a bubbly personality and loved to talk enthusiastically about everything. We moved to the other side of town 9 months ago, and actually she just lived 20 minutes from us. On Sunday, when a mutual friend was telling me she was nearing the end and had only like a month left, I thought of going with the whole family and seeing her. She loves kids and I figured she would be happy to see us (she was ok with visitors). I didn't end up going as the kids were cranky and screaming. It seems like a feeble excuse now. I regret not doing that. I regret being all wrapped up in my little stuff that I couldn't take out time for visiting. I am trying not to dwell on that, but instead pray for peace for the bereft family.

My friend was saying she had gone downhill a lot and was in really bad shape when she saw her yesterday. In a way, I can always remember her the way I do now. Healthy, bubbly, full of life. Her excited scream when I announced I was pregnant with Neil, at the baby shower for Neil, patting my tummy and being all excited telling me how fast nails grow during pregnancy, at my house for Ladies Tea.

STUPID CANCER.

She is healed and happy and resting with the Lord she loved.

I hardly feel like writing about procrastination, but I have committed to it, so here is what I did today.

I cleaned out the car. It was full of junk and the floor was not to be seen. But now there is a floor and we can put our feet there.

Task: Clean out car
Delayed by: 2 months
Took me: 12 minutes.

It is good to remind ourselves to do the important things in life as sometimes it gets just darn too late.
