Sunday Morning

I drove down to my local convenience store to get me some cappuccino out of a machine but all the machines for that product were out of order and they have been out of order for over a month...  so, that tells me that a change is coming.

However,

While I was there, I noticed that the gasoline prices had dropped to $3.92 per gallon.  WHY?

President Biden has done nothing to bring prices down and the war in Ukraine is still going on...  so, what caused this reduction?

The last time I got gas it was $4.22 and that was about a week ago.

I had 3/4 of a tank left but I did not top off.

The intense heat and humidity have all but destroyed our summer garden this year.  I was able to have several meals of squash, zucchini, and bell peppers but I could have certainly eaten more.  Our biggest crop this year was the cucumbers which I suppose need lots of rain were so abundant that we gave several of them away to our neighbors...  assuming they liked cucumbers as much as we do.

I made some cucumber soup a few weeks ago that I froze and I got a container out last night to eat today.  I have cut up some pieces of ham in the container to see if that is a good combination or not.

Sunday is a day of calm.  No arguments...  no anger of any sort should take place on a Sunday.   It is a day for reflection and contemplation and maybe some planning...  retooling the mind to prepare for the coming week.

Being retired, it is sometimes easy to think that everyday is a Sunday and oftentimes I have missed Sunday because I was thinking it was just another day of the week.

I have been walking in the pool twice a day for 40 minutes each time as a way of building up my legs and back muscles after having back surgery almost 7 weeks ago...  but, today, since it is Sunday, I considering giving my body a break...  allowing it to simply be as it is without trying to make it something that it isn't up to yet.

The good thing about walking in the pool is that I can walk unaided which is a confidence builder for when I am out of the pool and limp when I walk.  I am hoping that over time, the limp will go away.

I have thought about meditating on Sundays but I am not there yet...  One has to have a state-of-mind before one tries meditation...  without that state-of-mind, it will not be successful.

Still...  it is something about which to think.
