Embrace your secret angel--she's never more than an arm's length away. GIVE ME THE DIVINE GRACE TO BE TENDER, CARING, AND ACCEPTING TOWARD ALL. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.++ Despite the less-than-jovial attitude of an anxious friend, you two are going to have an awful lot of fun today. Once you shower them with your positive outlook and help them see the bright opportunities that the day offers, they will quickly do an attitude adjustment and get on board with the good times. Your sense of humor is likely to be the most effective tool toward lighting up a tiny spark in their eye, so don't be afraid to poke fun and get them laughing. Bring out your creative side at home today by taking your family out for a day of fun and adventure. Choose a place that you've not visited before, perhaps a street fair or an unexplored part of town. A day trip may whet an appetite for romance in the evening.

It was a fairly busy day. I did some washing and then got a card to send off to Mikey. I finally got the food to Agape house and moved the fan outside. I need to bring the heater in now since the mornings are getting a little colder for me. I tried calling Mikey at seven and got his voicemail – nothing new. I just cannot be put-off by that experience, I have not heard from MM for ten days or so. I think I will let it lie for now. I did some washing and walked up the field a ways. I read some more and finally went to Sharis and bought a cocoanut crème pie. Oh well, does not happen often. I cleaned out the car and got some candy ready for Mikey next week. It tried to rain some of the day but was not too cold.
