Disappointments, We All Get 'Em...

It feels like it's been a stretch

 of vexing little set-backs and disappointments; 

(just life-headaches, but...)

The latest:

I opened a pack of pre-ordered printed Christmas photos and the first thing I see is this...

I had a terrible (well, for technically-challenged me) time getting everything to fit and save 

and didn't notice the date had reverted back to the template setting??😐

That's all I can figure out though I thought I checked everything thrice!!

...so nothing to do but fix it; At least it's not a wedding invitation or something like that!

 

Earlier this month a bright spot was delivered in form of apple pie 

courtesy of many volunteers from our church

assembling them for our young families  

as an encouragement during these trying Covid-times.

(No! We are not considered 'younger family'😊)

 but I had the honour of writing a poem for

 the lids of the pie-boxes and received a pie as a thank-you!

Because someone had framed the poem 

in lovely autumn- artwork I hung it on the fridge. 

Tonight I reread it and decided this coming weekend 

we are baking the pie to enjoy,

and forget disappointments for a bit!

Victoria comforted me with these words

'Sure, in the big picture these are little things

but in the moment they still hurt💛

She makes me want to count my blessings, 

not my disappointments!

And she is one of our best!
