This has been another day when I have regretted not buying self- address labels, or, (much more fun!) a stamp with my address on it. I have the same thought every Christmas when I'm doing Christmas cards.
This time it's because I've started on the job on sending a letter to all the people we haven't been able to reach by email. Fifty-four so far. I've created a standard letter, so all I have to do is 'top and tail' it, write the address on the envelope and add my address in case it can't be delivered. I'm impressed with myself; only one wasted letter, and one wasted envelope. There's still tomorrow's equally large batch to come.
I'm using the Schaeffer fountain pen my brother gave me 50 years ago on my 18th birthday; it's lovely to write with and has lasted well.
A day of sitting at my desk then, with only 420 steps on my step counter. I have a basic target of 1000 steps, but try and do at least 2000. I've got a bit of marching-on-the-spot to do before bedtime.
....
I'm reposting the prayer from yesterday, as I will am using it every day at least until Monday;
Be thou a bright flame before me, O God,
A guiding star above me,
Be thou a smooth path below me,
A kindly shepherd behind me,
Today, tonight and for ever.
Your post has comforted me. Something (not sure what) has gone wrong with my legs and moving is painful. I too have managed only 400 steps today. On a different point, I buy blank mini labels and then print them with my address.
ReplyDeleteThat's an economical idea for labels.
DeleteI hope your legs improve soon and you find a way of lessening the pain.
You did well to only spoil one letter and envelope.
ReplyDeleteApart from writing the addresses upside down on the first 20 envelopes! I decided that didn't count...
