pauline

Pauline called. She’s a very funny person. She’s also a great storyteller. Her humor seems endless. I don’t know why she’s a nurse and not a stand-up comedian. Although if there’s a nurse you’d want if you were a patient in a hospital, she’d be the one.

She called on a rainy, windy Saturday morning. “I love this weather.” she said. “It’s a perfect reason for staying in and enjoying staying in, instead of running around with a list of things to do.” She’s right, you know. Maybe the weather should indicate to us when it’s a perfect time to stay in. Some of us need this kind of direction. Otherwise we don’t know when to stop. Listen to what the weather is saying. It’s a small way, too, of getting closer to nature.
