    So to catch everyone up, David and I were married on 29th March. It was, basically us two, David's parents and two friends at the registry office. Then we had a Zoom talk and get together. It was incredibly nice. I might post some pics soon. Thank you all who showed concern and kept us in your prayers.

    In the Bynton  translation. Sorry for the spelling I’ve not yet found all my copies of various bibles. Again.
    We were discussing it last night, and got a gentle chiding. “Now, now, let’s dredge up some honor for the king.”  Um, former king.

    Quote of the Week
     
    “With gratitude, optimism becomes more sustainable.”
    -Michael J. Fox, who has had Parkinson’s for 3 decades
     
    Optimism in the Face of Adversity
     
    When we struggle it’s easy to focus on all that is wrong.  All that we don’t have.  All the stressors.  How unfair it is that our bodies aren’t as perfect as we had hoped.  That life is harder than we dreamed. Those living with ADHD, or living with a partner with ADHD, know what it’s like to have a long-term challenge that needs to be managed, just as Fox has with his Parkinson’s.
    Fox has had many years to learn how to manage his Parkinson’s – probably more than you’ve had to learn how to manage ADHD.  And Parkinson’s is degenerative, while ADHD is not.  But there are many parallels, and that’s why I was so struck by Fox’s focus on gratitude.
    Gratitude is like a deeply dug well of positives from which we can draw the energy to persevere.  It is the understanding that it’s not about perfection, but about mindfully paying attention to the beauty found around us and within us.  It’s about having an argument with a partner, then being able to sit quietly and be grateful that you have 2 wonderful kids; that beauty is as close as your local woods; that your home is warm and cozy; that you had the energy to accomplish 3 of the 5 things you had hoped that day.  
    Gratitude is about perspective.  And with perspective, there is room to nurture optimism.
    I urge you to take a little bit of time every day to be grateful for the good in your life.  Write down what you are grateful for in a journal by your bed, or in your daily paper calendar.  You will be amazed by the shift this practice creates in your life.
     
    Thanks goes to ADHDmarriage.com for this wonderful message.

    Finally ripped off the mental bandaid and cancelled the lease of my Swedish apartment as I couldn’t find anyone to sublet it for a third year. Sad. I get an emotional attachment to weirdest things. But the reality is that I won’t be going back to Europe any time soon 😢 Now I need to UPS my keys over, and pay rent during the exorbitant 3-month cancellation period (urgh).

    Help! 
    I need to find out how to print songs.I am going to do my level best to get some songs memorized, to sing to Jehovah, right after Armageddon. 
    Two sisters have joined me. (One, a bit hesitant) and the other excited. 
    What I would like help in is being able to print out words for songs. 
    Now, understand, we memorize them. Not sing them, except at meetings. 
    I thought this would keep my mind busy with good thoughts!

    Help! Pretty please! In the night, when I was listening to Morning Worship, and I heard one I can’t find. It was on the anointed and had a bit about brother Franz. It’s not the obvious one. On, “generations”. It ended differently. Sort of, “don’t fool yourself into thinking the end is far off.” 
    The one I thought it was by brother Flodin, “This generation will not pass away. 
    The gem I found is, “Jehovah’s day is coming as a thief”. With brother Losch delivering it. Good place to snoop. Those transcripts!

    Good evening Everyone!   I just wanted to share  what has been going on since April due to the Pandemic.    As some of you already know, I work at a school.  Well, my Superintendent has been connecting and listening in on our congregation zoom meetings since April and has not missed but three since she began (one was due to a funeral).  She has even listened in when we have abbreviated Watchtower lessons due to our Circuit Assembly last week.    She and her 89 year old mom listen in and said they love listening in and learning.  They are Catholic.   I send her via text the public talk title each week and the Watchtower lesson for that week.   About a week ago after she missed a couple of Sundays she said to me, "Please don't forget us!"   I told her she can rest assured that we would not.   Anyways it is encouraging to see ones of a different faith connecting to our Zoom meetings.

    Could not sleep last night. I plugged in my iPad, got the earphones out, and had a bit of a marathon. Our media on JW.org
    I stumbled across something wonderful, (well, my iPad did) it was the 2016 regional convention. I got to hear, “Expect the unexpected”, and the closing comments of that convention. A real eye opener! I could almost see the end happen this week! 
    The reasons Jehovah brought the flood. Violence and unclean sex. I remember that. And that situation has, well, I think doubled down on itself.
    Exciting times. 
    Way better then notes!
