Raintime barocha

[primsong]

So much happening in so many of my dear friends lives -

May those who are suffering with illnesses soon be strengthened and well,
May those who are having to deal with terrible stresses in their relationships soon find peace and (where possible) reconciliation.
May those who are feeling down, lonely and just plain out-of-sorts soon see something in their lives that will be a comfort and a light, and have time with a companion who can comfort them.
May those who are grieving find the solace that they need, and those who seek wisdom to make the right choces be given the direction they so desperately need.

And may those who rejoice with new life, new jobs, bright turns in their path, sweet hopes for the future know that I do rejoice with them when I read their words - Amen...

(((((all)))))

How I wish I could somehow just have each and every one of you over for a quiet afternoon of tea and board games and browsing of books, watching a show and just enjoying a bit of peace.

If all of us (certainly including me) only had more time!

In the meantime, I also have hopes that the sump-pump will soon be working again so I'm not having to run downstairs and bail 3 gallons of water from a hole in my basement every 9 minutes - I have a timer set... I think I have a better chance at that than having it stop raining. :-P

God, that sounds nice! An afternoon of tea and mahjong or [insert favourite game here] at Prim's house!

*sigh* we can dream.

What an absolutely lovely post (((Prim)))

I do hope you get that sump pump sorted out in good order!

Jeez, you guys have been having a lot of rain. I hope you get that pump working soon, ((((Prim)))). Tea, board games, and book-browsing sounds lovely. Don't I wish.

It does seem to be an extra wet year this time around. My mom is having problems with a leak now, too. I'm about ready to put on my water wings here.

Thanks for the lovely thoughts. This time of year does seem to particularly get people down. Lack of sunshine, post-holiday let-down, everday stress... It all adds up, doesn't it? So I lift my cuppa to you, even if I'm at work instead of having a quiet afternoon break.

Also wishing you luck with the sump pump. Been there, done that -- more than once. We were always getting water in the basement when it rained, so had the cracks repaired and thought, ahhh, that's better. Then the sump pump quit, fortunately while we were home, so we replaced it. Then the replacement died during the night of my daughter's slumber party and they woke up with water in their sleeping bags! Not quite how you picture making a birthday memorable... The plumber said he'd never had a sump pump quit after just two days (so naturally it happened to us). But the third one has been working well and we are in the process of making sure everything stored in the basement is in sealed plastic containers. I'm not going to have my things ruined by water again if I can help it!
