Yesterday the postman brought me the nicest gift. My rich friend in Oregon made me the cutest pair of pajamas. What a wonderful gift, home made, from heart! I think that was the neatest thing to do for someone who is ill. Also a couple of jars of marmalade. She and I went to nursing school together when we didn't know any better. I've always called them rich friends because they have a jaguar car.
The other day I got an email from a woman who had been to Camp Francis in 1996. She told me how she still remembers the stories I told about Francis. It was such fun to hear from someone who believes that the work I did made a difference in her life.
We had family here from Utah this past weekend. My nephews are kind of long haired hippies? Anyway, I'm sure visiting with an old auntie, who is now bald, was a gift from their hearts.
Now, theologically, I have had an epiphany....I was thinking, the other day, that there is, in all of God's creation, only one Carol. In all of the eons gone before, there has never been another Carol. "Before you were formed, I knew you." So I think maybe I am significant. When I picture the piles of brown broken people in Haiti, now I think no two were alike. I mean this is science! So if there is only one of me then God surely would not just dispose of me when I leave this physical state. Well, anyway, do with this insight what you will. I found it rather comforting.
About Me
- The Calico Pen
- My book "The Bastard Tree" is still available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. I hve had a lot of positive remarks about my story and although I am not making money with it, I am glad I did it. It is one of those things that people always say, "you should write a book," so I did. I like to write and I hope you will enjoy reading what I post.
