Several years ago, while living in another city, I learned a valuable lesson in acceptance. It came thanks to an encounter with a couple in their mid-20s who were looking for someone to officiate at their wedding. The first of several visits we would have came after a phone call I received from the groom-to-be. He had some questions for me and I told him I would do my best to answer them.

Everyday life seems to take up a person’s whole day. When worries and troubles hit, everyday life can take up half your night as well. When the summer heat hits and getting a good sleep is made a bit more difficult by an overheated house, everyday life can become overwhelming. Fortunately, we almost always come to the conclusion that there is only so much a person can do.

Health is one of the most important issues facing any person. Our jobs, our relationships and how we are able to live our lives are all dictated by our health– anyone who has known someone with ailing health knows this to be true.

Thumbs down to whoever destroyed the planters in front of Brimont and ArtsForward this weekend. The Girl Guides and the Horticultural Society planted them and they were just beautiful! Luckily, I don’t think any of the other big planters were destroyed.

Summer is off to a great start. Spent a week in Winnipeg with my sister from Australia and her grandson, a fine young man of 16. Side trips out to Steinbach Mennonite Museum, the Pembina Hills and Lower Fort Gary. (Special event there- I presided at the wedding of my oldest niece and her beloved, am now an accredited marriage commissioner, just in case I have too much free time!) Once again toured the Museum of Human Rights, the Forks and bookstores. All in all, it was a well rounded holiday.
