This morning I will have the two sessions scheduled for Saturday. At that point I will not have another session until Nov. 12. Next week my two brothers and their wives along with Kathy and me will leave for a 12 day vacation. I haven’t taken a vacation with some of my own family members for 50 years so it is a risk! Actually we are all looking forward to doing this. At first I was feeling guilty for leaving all of the clients without their support for the two weeks. However, in each session this week as I’ve informed them, they were fine with it. It made me recall when my counselor needed to skip a session. I, more often than not, was grateful. I could skip a week of reliving a painful time in my past.

Before we leave on the trip I’m getting all of the garden put to rest as well as all of the flower beds and flower pots. It is painful to do this when we haven’t had a freeze to kill the plants. Yesterday was the day I was starting all of the flower beds and I was so happy that it froze Thursday night so that I didn’t have to be the one putting an end to hundreds of flowers! I know this is quite silly to put in a blog, but it does make my heart happy when these little, but important to me, things happen. God does care about these little intimate details in our lives.
