Today was the Ides of March. (The soothsayer's warning to Julius Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March," has forever imbued that date with a sense of foreboding. But in Roman times the expression "Ides of March" did not necessarily evoke a dark mood—it was simply the standard way of saying "March 15." Surely such a fanciful expression must signify something more than merely another day of the year? Not so. Even in Shakespeare's time, sixteen centuries later, audiences attending his play Julius Caesar wouldn't have blinked twice upon hearing the date called the Ides. Taken from the Ides of March website.) That might be more information than you wanted...but there it is.
It was raining as I drove to Redmond this morning. Thankfully as we began our walk around the park and Lake Sammamish the rain stopped. Today was 120 minutes (2 hours) our longest walk yet. Near the end my left lower hip area hurt. This is the second time I have had this trouble. When I go back for a second consultation at Real Rehab PT I'll have that checked out.
After leaving the park I drove to Everett to a friend's house. There five women made sugar Easter cookies...having fun decorating all of them. Each took home a good portion to share with our family and friends for Easter. This is becoming a seasonal event. What special occasion can we come up with for Summer and Fall? Only time will tell.
In the evening I noticed my feet hurt on the inside by my big toe. I am wondering if my shoes are too small. I may need to go up another half size. Sunday my feet are still sore.
Today, as I write it is Palm Sunday. The service at University Presbyterian Church was very moving. Go to www.UPC.org later in the week and you can hear via podcast the sermon by Paster Earl Palmer.
This week are the days leading to Easter. I trust your spiritual belief will enable you to experience the meaning of the Cross. Blessings to all.
