The weekend was full. Today I am tired in a good way. I will pack my bag for my visit to Arizona and take Nolan to McD's to play. And our last session of the spring of Why Catholic is tonight. I have it prepared, and someone else is bringing dessert.
I like this thought for today: Happy is the one who has learned to hold the things of this world with a loose grip.
I am reminded of what Kris Kristoferson said about Willie Nelson years ago...."Willie wears the world like a loose-fitting coat."
That is about how I feel. I am so tired, I can't hold on to much of anything today!!! But a happy tired is ok. :o)
