November 19--Lentils Required

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.  --James Baldwin

    In yesterday's "maybe I am brave" rambling, I forgot to list the bravest thing I ever did: I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane!!! Yes, I did. I have never been so terrified as I was stepping out on that ledge to fall into the skydive. I have also been zip-lining in Costa Rica and para-sailing in Jamaica. These are no small feats for someone who is petrified of heights. 
    Yesterday started with my daily morning lap-swim followed by a trip to the grocery store for soup-makings. I assembled the soup in the afternoon only to realize that when making lentil soup, it is a good idea to have lentils. Fortunately, my niece lives a quarter-mile from a huge grocery store, so I walked there as my penance for my doofus moment forgetting to buy lentils earlier. We enjoyed a soup and cornbread supper while I was beaten soundly at Rummikub. 
    The fun continues,
