May 26

I don't bring it up often because it's not something I choose to focus my energy on, but I have arthritis in a few different joints. I've been very achy over the past few weeks, and haven't slept particularly well as a result.

After clunking around all day today, this evening I went to a meeting at church --that quite truthfully, part of me wanted to skip-- and felt so blessed to find this marvelously comfy chair sitting there like it was waiting for me.

It was, as always, a blessing to spend time with my fellow deacons. But it was also a blessing to be comfortable while I was there since recent times have seen me feeling decidedly not so.

It's one of those very, very small things that means a whole lot.
