I do not know when was the last time I wrote something for the Diary. It seems it may have been quite some time ago. My life is pretty good right now; and the way I cope with everything is getting better. It is so good, that I can still look after myself. Sure, I do need a bit of extra help, and with advancing age the help I do need is likely to increase. However, any extra help I get I accept gracefully now. Yes, I find it liberating to be able to say thank you to everyone who gives me some help. Actually, there are many people who always want to help when they see I might need some help.

One daughter of mine struggles with some health issues right now, and I pray for her that she gets better soon. The rest of the family is doing well. The younger daughter came visiting me yesterday with her family. They stayed ar my place for three hours. We all had a good time and talked a lot. I always feel good when I can talk a lot of different people. We were four adults and a sweet little boy who had fun exploring my place. The visitors had brought a very good lunch along and did all the catering for me. This felt so good to have a perfect lunch ar home for all of us. The daughter, son-in-law and son-in-laws son they all did their share to bring all the great food to the table. And later on they cleared everything away and did the dishes always working together in unison. I stayed out of their way. However I had always someone to talk to.

Son-in-law made the coffee and served it for all of us outside to the table. It was good to sit outside on the deck where the table was covered a bit with some awning and an umbrella. The air was lovely fresh. There was only a little bit of rain and sometimes a slight breeze.

Today are the tennis finals which I am going to watch now.
