Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 22 October 2023

Todays quote:

I always imagined when I was a kid that adults had some kind of inner toolbox full of shiny tools: the saw of discernment, the hammer of wisdom,  the sandpaper of patience. But then when I grew up I found that life handed you these rusty bent old tools -- friendships, prayer,  conscience, honesty -- and  said, Do your best with these, they will have to do. And mostly, against all odds, they're enough.

From Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott.  US writer.

It's done it twice again!!

OG: Read "A good service.....with an excellent salmon." Obviously need more coffee.

Diane;  Thank you once again.   You know i can do it if you're busy or don't feel motivated....

That's straight into next week's church newsletter, Lindy. Thank you :)

the hammer of wisdom

I think I inherited the hammer of subtlety and tact.

LINDA – thanks for the quote – straight into the magazine here too!

Glad you liked the quote - it's now a favourite of mine.

A puggle story.

AQ - I love the puggle story. So nice to have good news these days.
Lindy - I will, if you don’t mind, send the quote to my sister who does her church magazine!
It’s raining again here!! I have just been down to the dentist to apologise for missing my appointment on Friday. The receptionist said “oh don’t worry. We all went home because we had no electricity!” No wonder they weren’t answering the phones !

Thanks for sharing this!  What a lovely story, not least letting Kevin be part of the happy ending.
