It's been a long winter

The town I live in has an annual St. Patrick's Day celebration the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day

It's a great deal of fun mostly seeing people who have all been cooped up inside the last five months

I encountered my oldest daughter's fourth grade teacher to start the celebration

The conversation went on with her needing hip replacement surgery and how she is difficult time taking a shower because she can't step over the edge of the tub and I told her that we still have a shower bench that we know longer need it was given to me now it's my turn to pass iton to someone else in need

I ran into another daughter of mine and my son-in-law and we went up at a pizza place where I ran into a number of kids that went to school with my daughter I haven't been hugged that much in a long time it was an amazing day to be able to be out celebrating St. Patrick's Day and see so many people having fun

Once again I have to think God for sending me the the good doctors and the excellent therapist that worked with me post stroke so that I m am able to walk and enjoy the festivities of a day like today
