Awake again!!!!

Thursday 3 am - I am wide awake again. It's very quiet all around me except for the ticking of my clock. You would expect that this is the time when fear would creep up but I am peaceful at night. Thinking about the day to come and what it will include. Happy to know I am being held and that my father has the plan. 
The last few days have been good. Ben and I went shopping with my wheelchair and an adapted trolley. That was a strange experience to be pushed around Tesco and see it from a different level! How hard it would be to shop like that all the time - but for Ben and I it was an adventure. Since then Ben has been doing all his own cooking - it has been lovely to watch and makes me happy to know that he is so ready for uni. I have been trying to impart as much of my cooking knowledge as possible. He is so lovely to let me teach him and patiently listens to me. We have started the uni washing so everything is clean before he starts the term - who knows when it will be washed again! 
I have had coffee with lots of friends this week which has been such a joy. Hearing about their lives and dipping into their experiences is wonderful. 
The next 2 days include blood tests at the hospital, flowers at church ( so nice to planning something so normal) and ladies bible study. Then at the weekend Paul and I may go out together on Saturday and I am hoping to go to church on Sunday. I am so thankful for these weeks of not too much hospitals. I am hoping to do some bulb planting soon - nice to be planning for the spring. We had some very successful bowls of bulbs last year that flowered from early January right throughout the spring. We planted them and kept them in the shed bringing them in as each bowl finished. The colours of bulbs on grey days is wonderful. 
I hope you all have great weekend plans  - do take every opportunity to grab life.
