It's a "James Taylor kind of day"

Hey Friends,
I don't know about where you are, but here in Northern Illinois, it is cool, cloudy, and a soaking rain has been coming down consistently for at least 24 hours. Sometimes rainy days make me sad, but usually it's a more specific emotion. Perhaps melancholy, contemplative, "slow"; not necessarily negative, just "rainy". On days like this I am "encouraged" to reflect on my life, and the people in it. I really am blessed beyond measure; besides the stuff in life that I have been provided with, it's the people and relationships that matter the most to me.
We are doing a study at our church based on the book, One Month To Live. It's interesting to talk to others and think about what would take priority if we had a mere 30 days left. Over and over, I hear the same thing. People. Relationships. If they're broken, people want to fix them. If they're precious, we want to enjoy them. Sure, the laundry's got to be done, and groceries have to be bought, dinner made, bills paid; but perfection and tasks take their rightful place - down the list quite a ways. Maybe the "list" itself gets pitched. So, on a day like this, I "do" things, but in the back of my mind, I reflect on those people who are most important to me...
For your listening pleasure..... enjoy, reminisce, maybe even pick up the phone. (txtng dsnt count!)


J.T. still has it...
