Random Acts of "Kindness"

EDITOR

I received a new phone call from a promoter wanting to republish TO PAP WITH LOVE. When I told the story of my hot hand with the previous promoter, he asked if my hand had been hot the morning he phoned. It hadn’t been. My youngest daughter asked what list I was on. I replied “SUCKER.”

I’m typing this on a Saturday morning but it was written a couple of Sundays ago. I DID NOT WANT TO BE UP! My left hand woke me at 5:00 AM. I planned to go back to sleep. Robin heard me and my plans changed.

My hands have not been waking me up. My question — what is going on? What am I supposed to do? Yesterday I committed to writing the blog. I changed from Free to Premium. It will take a while to learn the benefits. I don’t think the nudge was writing. Rain and snow are in the forecast for today. Is it the weather?

Today I wrote the first paragraph and it disappeared before I could save it. My “helpers” are busy. Evidently the thought ramble I planned needs to be updated. With their “help”, I have published more than 444 rambles. That is an impressive number. Although it is tempting to discard this original thought, I like the ending paragraph. Possibly the reason I’m pestered to write.

Sunday morning both the focus of the Lutheran service and the Catholic mass was on Lazarus — raised from the dead. The Catholic homily focused on repairing relationships that have been damaged and bringing Christ’s light to the world.

I’ll admit that I have been blessed. I know that my family, friends and pets on the other side — are active, helping others. Evidently that is why I’m supposed to write. Share the stories that happen in my life with others. Was that why my hand woke me?
