Easter was an event in several different ways. Having done the early stint in church the rest of the day loomed......last week I had had the sense to book a table for lunch for two at one of our favourite hotels. Just as well...when we arrived the first test was to find a parking place amongst crowds busy on the same task.
My daughter in law was doing the driving and she parked much more competently than I would have done!
Walking into the restaurant I met a very old, much loved friend I have known for about 30 years. A great deal of hugging took me to a table where I found many of the gang of people the first David and I had been part of!
It was a very good lunch served at a small table looking out to a rain swept sea. Arrangements were made to see the gang again during the week...and the food was excellent.
Looking around the room I recognised almost everyone there though mostly the names escaped me! At the next table was a group of about ten people all of whom had taken communion at eight o clock!
The whole day was very unexpectedly happy.
I allowed myself a few tears when I got home...but on the whole the day had turned out better than I could ever have imagined on first getting out of bed.....
Thank you God and also for the conversations on the phone later .... Life is becoming liveable again.

Little by little is the perfect way to regain your hold on life I think. Try to do it all in one and you will collapse under the strain, but enjoying each small flicker of happiness and resting between events eventually leads to a new less introverted way to manage each day.
You obviously have many friends in the area who welcome your company. Such a blessing.
