I opened of the newspaper this morning and there was a lovely article about the Decemberists. And apparently I wasn't paying any attention to them, because they are going to be in Chicago with the Grant Park Symphony on Wednesday AND it is FREE!

And I was going to miss it. oh goodness.


Yesterday I went to the library, and I forgot my library card, so I spent several hours there reading The Joy in Loving by Mother T.

She says something along the lines of, We complicate our lives so much by adding so many additions.

But the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, having no one...It is being unwanted that is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.

I love you God. I trust you. I believe in you. These are wonderful prayers.
