Creed III/ EidIII

Sleep is great. I am grateful for the natural rhythms of life. I'm also half asleep. Just got up to be faithful to the blog. Is that dedication, or what?
Hugs for Haiti.

The third bit of the Optimist's Creed:
Promise yourself
to make all your friends feel there is something worthwhile in them.

My friends, a sadly neglected breed of late. I haven't been very communicative while working on changing myself. But they'll understand. And love me whatever I do, however I am. Often it's an email or a phone call from a distant friend that makes my day. My week, my life. Thank God for them. May I be worthy of their friendship and love.

Eigentlich bin ich zu verschlafen um etwas Vernunftiges zu schreiben. Also lass ich es. Auf Englisch fällt das Bluffen leichter. Deutsch ist irgendwie zu Schade dazu. Gute Nacht.

Actually, it's Wednesday/ Mittwoch

Thank goodness for friends.

Yesterday an "old" friend from med school came by. We chatted about our lives. The parallels are amazing, the differences intriguing and the silence in between--healing. We went for a walk by the river where things are never the same, neither at different times on the same day, nor the same times on different days. We watched dogs racing in the wind, felt the heat of physical exertion, peeped into other people's front rooms when they turned on the lights at dusk. And then we came back and had tea. Life could hardly be better.

Es sind die einfachen Momente und Dinge, die manchmal am meisten Spass machen. Gottseidank für alte Freundschaften und insbesonders heute für Alex.
