The wedding was a success! Lots of pictures taken - over 300 - so I should be able to find a few goods ones! I was telling some of my Memorial friends about the wedding & was asked if I would photograph - for $$$ - a 40th wedding anniversary celebration! Too cool!
I just made contact & amends with a very old friend - from about 20 yrs ago. I am so thankful that she has been able to forgive me over the years for the harm I caused. What a blessing. Not only did she accept my amends but she was happy to hear from me. I'm so glad! I wish everyone could be as forgiving - not so much of me but of others - hatred distroys the heart.
Jesse played in a symphony demo for the 6th graders who will be attending the same Jr. High as her next yr. I'm so proud of her music accomplishments... now if we could just get those grades back on track!
Duck went to an opening celebration of a new local church the other day and made from page of the Local section of the Modesto Bee. Then he went on an Ester Basket Run to benefit local recovery homes, bought 5 raffle tickets & won 5 prizes... including a $200 gift certificate for ink! He gave Jesse the pink & black Harley blanket, I got the skull cluth purse, the smog (for my car - it's due) & a $15 gift card for a local biker supply outlet! Yipee! I love how he shares so much of himself & what he has with us. For a man who only had a motorcycle when I met him, he has got to be the most generous person I know.
The most a person can give anyone is all of themself and Duck has done that for me and Jessica. And, ultimately, we have to be responsible for our actions & the path we choose for ourselves, good, bad or otherwise. Forgiving someone is ultimate freedom for self & isn't only a kind act towards the offender but a kind act towards yourself. I pray daily for the ability to forgive those who have wronged me a little bit more each day.
Have a great week!
