Thursday, 24 March 2005 - Flexible schedules

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for flexible schedules.

Today's weather embraced the four seasons. Clear blue skies, sunshine, and mild temperatures delighted T and me as we hiked the trail - a perfect spring morning. A mass of dark clouds, however, rolled in around mid-morning turning the azure sky a gloomy autumn gray. The clouds evolved into a slow moving storm, bringing hail and the familiar rumble of a summer thunderstorm. Right now, winter's snow continues to fall.

The crazy weather upset our afternoon schedules. S reluctantly cancelled his bike ride. Instead, he'll work out at World Gym or hit the heavy bag and speed bag in our home gym. T, on the other hand, insisted on his second walk. To appease him, I bundled up in my Gortex jacket, ski gloves and hat and lead him to the park. He didn't like the snow and sleet at all, so we turned around at the park entrance - too wet and too windy for both of us. We'll try again later if calmer weather returns.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
