However....
Friend, whom I transport to his doctor visits, had an appointment in a clinic I just absolutely dread to go to. They're NEVER on schedule. He usually has his appointments in the morning, but today it was in the afternoon. We left early because we knew there was a detour because of freeway construction, and we actually got to his appointment 20 minutes early. But, as usual, he was 25 minutes late getting into his doctor. Turns out there was a little difficulty with the procedure, so it ended up taking 45 minutes instead of 15.
Ah, well, I got a lot of crocheting done.
Actually, I had to make a long distance call to my sister to let her know that I wouldn't be on the IM chat at our usual time. When I made the call, it was already time that we are usually IMing, and I didn't see how I could get back home any earlier than an hour from the the time I made the call.
She didn't even check on her phone messages!!
Well, anyway, we had our chat. I heated up the wonderful squash soup that last night's hostess sent home with me. It is soooooo good!! Then I had time to do a little more crocheting.
HEY, SISTER!...the hat is completed and I'll be getting it in the mail soon.
The Kabbalah class is always a huge learning session. Our Rabbi is unbelievable. He lives in the absolute assurance of G-d's presence. Nothing ever seems to get him down (but of course, I don't see him 24/7), his smile is brilliant, and his knowledge is incredible. But even at that, if someone asks a question and he doesn't have an answer, he is so honest he doesn't even try to wing it. He says, "I'll look it up." He is such an inspiration!
And the Tuesday night class he conducts is no less inspiring. Much food for thought coming my way.
Is all this making me a better person? I hope so. But I am truly struggling. Enlightenment and deep spirituality don't come easy to this Pragmatic brain.
Ah, well...I'll keep up the struggle. It's worth it.
Shalom
