Good Good Friends

 Another chicken dinner left by neighbor 

at my door today and my friend Paula 

came by and dropped off these two pkgs.

Tomato basil chicken and potatoes.

That's 8 meals for me!

We were able to chat a few minutes

 thru the screened window and she met Walter.

He barked a bit but then he doesn't really know

about other humans just yet.

I was also contacted by Shopping Angels

and a young volunteer will be going to 

Trader Joes for me tomorrow.

 I sorely miss their food.

A young college student started the

program in Reno for at risk seniors 

and it is spreading across

the nation. Each Instacart delivery

 was running me $15 which adds up 

on my wee budget

unless you do a mega order.

Volunteers only, not even allowed tips.

They are limited to 10 items, 

but I can use twice a month and save $45 a month.

If you know a senior who needs

this kind of help, maybe it is in your area also.

I am blessed to have good friends and

a young friend I'll meet tomorrow through my

screened window.

I'm shaking off the malaise of the past

couple weeks and I'm purging a little each day

and I'm tackling one room a day 

down to the baseboards, curtains washed etc.

It's exercise and I get tired by the end

which helps me sleep.

Every time I take Walter outside to "get busy"

 I whack off a few stray stems and pluck a few weeds.

Eventually the yard will be in better shape also.

It's all about the little actions,

be it a volunteer, a kind friend or TWO,

a plucked weed, a 4 legged friend bringing joy.

I pray the world wakes up to 

what a human being should be to another.

Humanity: noun 

1. the human race;

 human beings collectively:

all together

imagine

"You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one"
