WHAT GOALS AND CHALLENGES DID YOU CHOOSE? (cont.)

Thank you for returning, my dear friend. I hope that you will continue to enjoy the story.

THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 12...

The man named Michael then spoke, "Let's first talk about winning your life game. What does a win of the game comprise? If you can come through the challenges of your life game and become aware that you are love; that you are one with all people, and all nature, and you realize that you are one with ONE; then you have won your life game.

"There are games within games in our life games. We are energy forms addicted to games, addicted to challenges.

"We love to have strong feelings, both positive and negative, for then we know our energy still exists. Of course, energy can never be destroyed, only changed, but we play games to flex that energy, to have experiences, and that is what we live for; experiences of ourselves as we are, and what we are is love. So a win is to acknowledge once again that all is love, and to accept that we are love and one with all.

"We play games of every sort all of our lives, and we grow a level higher each time we experience love in any way."

"The highest reward the game pays, is the return of love when you least expect it. Some games that people develop have monmetary gain as its greatest reward, but if that is their only goal they tend not to rise in levels in their life game."

Then Tom spoke up and said, "Our games have an infinite number of levels. We raise a level each time we learn a truth, or give love even when it is not warranted by the circumstances.

"Some create life games that raise them to high public status, but if they have not included love when developing their life games, that public attention fades or disappears as their game progresses. Then, of course, there is the great leveler of life games and that is what humans call death; an end to the game. So we will be building that factor into your game, but that is done in the Pathways Building. For this part of your game, we are going to follow your instructions and build your core game."

"Tell us now," said Larry, "what are your goals in your life game?"

"I want to complete my life game with a win so that I can come back home again, and stay home. I want to demonstrate love in all that I do on Earth; I want to be a good mother; I want to become a less judgmental person. I want to educate myself-especially in spiritual matters; I want to have a large mixed-racial family, and, of course, I want to learn who I am."

"Have you thought about any rules you would have for yourself in this game," asked Tom.

I believe having a positive attitude would be my first rule. Then to persevere in all that I attempt in life. Love for others is the number one directive; also sharing and fair play. I want to rebel against injustice; against the status quo; aganst racism; against the loss of human rights all over the world. I want to love unconditionally."

"Now," said Michael, "those are all very serious goals to have and rules to live by, and if you are able to live by those rules you will be rising in levels very fast and you will win  your game. However, we have another purpose and that is to tell you some of the challenges you will be working under while playing your life game.

"First, of course, there is your adoption factor. Although you have chosen this yourself, you will find that the feelings aroused by this choice do not go away even in your old age. You will struggle to come to terms with this subject.

"Next, there will be considerable pain and fear in your childhood, both physically and emotionally, and the feelings evoked by mistreatment will hamper you all of your life. You will move a lot in your childhood and so you will cling to your home during your lifetime; it will be hard for you to accept changes.

You will be molested three times in your youth and that will restrict you in your relationships.

Tomorrow we take a look at our game board...

WHAT GOALS & CHALLENGES DID YOU CHOOSE?

Dear reader and friend, I just want to thank you for your support and understanding as I write this book.
You are the world to me!

THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 12...

Glenna and I took a path that passed the next two Game Development buildings and the Council of Elders building with its diamond roof. We sat on a bench and just stared at the beautiful rays of color reflecting from the enormous diamond; could anything be more beautiful. Amazing how many different kinds of beauty there are in the Cosmos.

Then we came to the little gray bridge I had come across to reach this island, and I remembered meeting Glenna for the first time; remembered her as a ball of light when I had first seen her. She had sure proven herself to be pure light. How would I have navigated all of these steps without her?

We walked past the beautiful bejeweled buildings that I had had such beautiful experiences in. We then passed the little bungalow where I had first met my beloved children and grandchildren. I thought that even though it had been the most modest of all the buildings, I had found my greatest treasure there. Thinking of my children, I made a resloution to create and follow whatever pathway my game demanded; I would give my all to complete my pathway and win my new life game.

We continued walking, listened to the birds singing and the flowers harmonizing; we felt the total peace of the island wrapping around us like a cloak. Finally we found ourselves near the House of Cosmetics again, and Glenna pointed out a little tea shop nestled by the side of a large building, under a grove of oak trees.

The items on the menu brought to my mind the cultural food of an English tea time. There were scones and jam, biscuits, and the most lovely, refreshng tea. We also ordered some cold cucumber sandwiches and ate them down in a flash. I guess we had been hungrier than we had imagined. Either that or we had just felt the need to indulge ourselves.

When we had finished our tea, Glenna rose and said that it was our turn to go to the first of the actual Game Development buildings, that my game was now being contemplated.

The next building was a large rectangular building with an anethyst on top; quite beautiful to see.

Above large copper doors, was a sign that said, "Game Development: Goals and Challenges." Glenna opened the closest door, and we entered a large hall that was completely filled with computers and video games. People were seated at all of the games and they were ardently and completely involved in the games they were playing.

Glenna walked over to a desk at the right side of the doors and addressed a game master who looked up from a mountain of games. He was a very pleasant man and told her that my game room was set-up and ready for me. He gave her a pair of passes and a slip with directions on it.

Glenna found a door at the back of the hall, and we turned down a winding corridor. In every room we passed, we saw people bent over table games, deeply involved in their business. Soon, Glenna saw our room on the right and checked the number on the door, 120, with the number on the passes; they matched.

We entered a medium sized room with a large table in the middle of the floor, and a smaller table with a group of three men around it. The men looked up and motioned for us to take seats at their table.

We sat down and the men introduced themselves as Michael, Tom, and Larry. They said that they were there to help me set up the goals and challenges of my new life game, and to begin to develop a game plan for me.

The man named Larry told us that every game had various components. There were the characteristics of the person playing the game; the goal or goals of the game; the challenges that each person would face in the game itself; and finally, what constituted the win of the game and the prizes attached to the winning of the game. All of these parameters were uique to my own game and they must be chosen by my own self with helpful suggestions from the three men, and Glenna, if she chose to add some.

Tomorrow Goals and Challenges continues...

DID WE CHOOSE OUR OWN COMPLEXION AND COLOR? (Conclusion)

THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 11 Conclusion:

"Today you will study different cultures and get a strong feeling of where you would be most comfortable in your new life game. More imprtantly, where you will get the strengths and experiences you need, to meet the goals you have set in your game.

"Then you will go to the sample room where every color and hue of skin, hair, and eye color are displayed.

"You choose a hue and shade by standing in front of a mirror and seeing what you look like in various combinations. There will be knobs to turn to adjust shades for each color of skin, hair, and eyes. You turn the knobs until you are happy wth your choices.

"At the end of choosing your color palette, you are reminded that all of these colors are merely cosmetic differences and in no way affect your personal spiritual being. However, your choice of cosmetics, will have a strong bearing on the challenges you will face in your life game.

"Please relax and clear your mind. Know that you will instinctively understand the ramifications of your color choices, as they apply to your new game. You also will feel again the experiences you have had before in other life games, and these might tend to influence what you choose today. Try to put such considerations out of your mind, and rely on your inner knowledge of what you are planning for this game, to guide your choices.

"Thank you for listening so closely, it is our hope that you will have some vestiges of memory left in your mind and heart of this program's message, as you go out into your new world."

The lights came up, and Glenna and I sat in our seats for a while to think about what we had just seen. When most of the people had filed out of the theatre, we got up, and Glenna led me through a door into the Cultural Room for the Planet Earth. There were booths set up to represent each culture on Earth; there were hundres of them, and I wondered how I would ever find myself in just one of the cultures.

Each booth had samples of the food the culture enjoyed, and so the whole room was filled with wonderful aromas. We walked down many aisles sampling the foods and observing many of the cultures that were to be found on Earth. Then Glenna reminded me that I had already made many choices when I went to the Genealogical building, and that those choices would have an effect on which cultures I could choose between in this part of my preparations.

I knew that I would be German Jewish, English, Scotch, and Irish, so we went to the various booths to sample their foods and be instructed in their cultures. By far, my greatest emotion went to the German Jewish culture. Then I had strong Scotch feelings, followed by Irish and English. I guess I will be an anomoly, because I choose to accept all four cultures to be a part of me.

Once I had made that decision, Glenna led me into the Samples Room. There must have been a thousand mirrors in the room, but Glenna led me to the left side of the room where there was a lovely rosewood mirror. On the right side of the mirror, in the rosewood, were three knobs. Underneath one was a brass sign that said "skin." Under the other two were brass signs that said, "eyes" and "hair."

This looked like a lot of fun. I knew the range of colors that I could choose between for the various cultures I had chosen. In two of the categories, eyes and hair, I had a lot of choice.

I thought about my game plan, and remembered that I must get adopted for my plan to work. Glenna told me that there was a lot of prejudice about who was "adoptable" and who was less likely to be chosen. My heart grew very heavy when I thought about the plight of those left up to the state to raise. It was so unfair, but Glenna said that, as hard as it was to imagine, some people actually chose to be orphaned-much as I had-and then remain an orphan. I thought that those folks must be so strong to choose such a thing; stronger than I was, that's for sure.

So I asked Glenna, what cultures and colors were the most adoptable. Glenna said that the most "adoptable" in the country I had chosen to be born into, was white Anglo-Saxon. Well, that was certainly limiting; I have to imagine that adoption rolls must be very long.

"Another thing that I must tell you is that Ralph and Lucile are Protestant Christians and would not consider a Jewish child."

"So I really don't have total choice in the cosmetics that I choose today?"

"Not if you want to play the life game you are choosing."

So I began turning the knob for skn color from darker to lighter, until I came to a light cream color; actually kind of pale looking, but it did seem to fit the style I had chosen. I had kind of liked a darker tan color, but that didn't seem to be in the game plan for me.

Next, I turned the hair-color knob and found that only blonde seemed to match my skin color. I chose a certain golden-light reddish hue, that some people would call a "dirty-dishwater" blonde.

Then I turned the eye color knob and was astounded by the range of colors and hues found in eye colors. I finally decided on cerulean blue so that I could be the perfect blonde-haired, blue-eyed baby that so many prospective parents were looking for. The funny and odd thing was that I looked very little like the coloring of Ralph and Lucile. I looked more like Ralph with his red-brown hair, freckles, and blue eyes, than I looked like Lucile, who had an olive complexion and black hair. She also did have blue eyes; very pretty blue eyes.

Well, there I was, all made up, but looking very little like my first choice of culture; which was Jewish. how would I ever be able to explore my Jewish heritage? Well, if it is so important to me, I am sure that I will find a way to experience it; I would find a way.

Glenna said we were finished in the House of Cosmetics, and would soon move on to the House of Goals and Challenges, which was indeed challenging; but very interesting.

"Ann," said Glenna, "we will first spend some time on a long walk around the island. You have seen a great deal of it but on a very personal basis. Now we will walk and enjoy the view, and then we will have some dinner before we go to the next house."

"Thanks Glenna. You know, the House of Cosmetics really made me see that the more choices I make, the more consequences follow them; indeed, I am restricted as to some of the other choices I can make, as I prepare for my life game. I am glad I have had many past lives to experience different colors and cultures. I can re-experience then in my memories."

And with that, we began our walk.

Tomorrow we begin to build our Game Board for our new life game...

DID WE CHOOSE OUR OWN COMPLEXION AND COLORING?

THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 11...

Glenna was waiting for me with a big smile on her face.

"Did you rest in your quiet place?" she asked.

"Oh, yes. Carol came and visited me and we were able to put all of these recent experiences in order, and she helped me clarify in my own mind where I am going to be going, and what I am going to be doing, in this new life game. I really feel that I am ready to finish my pathway and make the big step into my new life game."

"That is very good news to me. Now let us prepare to go to the House of Cosmetics. This is going to be a real treat for you; it's an incredibly positive experience."

"Then let's get going. I'm really looking forward to this new House."

With that said, we walked down the cobbled streets to a large building with a jade roof. The building had huge wooden doors and above them was a rainbow-colored sign that said, 'House of Cosmetics.'

 Glenna opened the door, and the smell of popcorn wafted out. We entered what looked like the snack bar of a large modern theatre. People were waiting in line for a large variety of goodies. Glenna motioned me over to a line on the left that seemed to be moving smoothly. From the talk around me, I got the impression that everyone was as surprised as I was to find themselves inside a movie theater-and we were all loving it!

When it was our turn, Glenna and I ordered popcorn, orange juice, and Reese's Pieces, then we made our way into a large and very beautiful theatre. We found seats in the middle of a row and settled down to await, what? What would we learn in a movie theatre. Well, I didn't know but it sure peaked my curiosity.

Then the lights dimmed and the curtain slowly opened.

A rainbow appeared on the screen, and a cultured male voice said, "Welcome to the House of Cosmetics. You will be seeing a very beautiful movie today. You will be seeing scenes from many planets that inhabit the Cosmos. On the planets that support life forms, you will notice that there is one universal message; that ONE loves color in everything He creates, and that color is beautiful."

. With that said, the screen was filled with scenes of the skies over many different planets.  The sky started out a delicate pink that turned slowly to a rose red; it then turned black and stormy with clouds of brown to gray. Then an early morning sunrise spread gold, orange, red and purple over a blue sky. The scene changed to the beginning of night with a magnificent sunset of pink, red, purple, and gold, saying goodbye to a dark blue sky.

The voice spoke as we watched the continually shifting colors of the skies. "ONE loves color in all that he creates."

The next scenes showed pictures of magnificent mountain ranges and deep valleys. The mountains ranged from deep purple to blue, green, brown, yellow, orange, black, and red. The valleys were covered in lush greens; brown and yellow rocks and boulders were strewn over some, and some had deep blue rivers running through them.

We were next treated to scenes of apple orchards, undulating waves of green forests, and an autumnal scene with all the trees turning red, orange, and yellow; looking like a roaring fire.

Suddenly, the scene shifted to a magnificent green and blue ocean. Shoals of fish were swimming amongst beautiful pink and red corals. The colors of the fish were so bright and varied. Then, deep into the lower regions of the ocean, where you expect all things to be gray, were sea creatures and fish of many colors. Who will see the colors there? One day man in his explorations will see the colors and be amazed that there are colors in a place so deep and out of sight. Now, ONE enjoys the sight.

"When ONE came to creating bodies for energy forms, he used all of the colors of the rainbow. On some planets, blue, green, purple, and orange people are found. On others, black, brown, yellow, red and white people are to be found. He created humans in all the shades and hues that he has created and loves so much. Then he created additional color combinations when he created their eyes and hair," said the cultured voice.

We were then treated to an hour nature study of the various animals on many planets, and their human counterparts. One thing we really noticed was the variety and range of the different colorings of everything in nature; of all animals, insects, plants, and the humans who walked among them.

I was in total awe. It had never occured to me how important color was in the worlds that ONE created. the entire crowd was totally entranced by the movie, and when it ended, with the sight of a magnificent sunset over a savanna in Africa, we were all sad to see it end.

When the curtains closed, a man walked out onto the stage. He introduced himself as George and said that he would be explaining to us what we were going to be accomplishing in the House of Cosmetics.

"When you are an adult on the planets that you will be going to, you will notice that people tend to belong to tribes that look like each other.

"All persons of every tribe are of equal value and feel and think similarly. There are the positive and negative persons in each tribe.

"Each tribe develops its strengths and weaknesses; its own culture and language; its own music and religons; its own prejudices and fears. These characteristics make each tribe unique and bring further color to their own worlds.       

To be continued tomorrow; we pick our own color scheme and cosmetics...

MAKING CHOICES IN MY QUIET PLACE (conclusion)

THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 10...

"In order to be able to raise nine children you will take an opportnity to get your education and then have a professional career.

"Then, just when you are about to run out of steam, you will be blessed with grandchildren and you will want to be the best grandmother that you can possibly be, that choice will bring you years of joy and love.

"You will write continuously, and know the joy of being published. That will futher sustain you. Also you will be able to have a period of time when you advance your education, although you may never gain the degrees that you have dreamed of.

"When you come to a more advanced age, and all of the children are raised, you will know the joy of your heart to come to meet and love Ed; this will also bring a period of struggle and great growth in your life.

"And finally, you will come to live in the State of New Jersey with David and Becky, and so many of your grandchildren. This will be the blessing stage of your life, and even though there may be health issues, you will face all things with equanimity. This move will trigger the time of your greatest spiritual and mental growth, and will bring you great joy.

"Then there comes the hardest decision to make, of when to return home. This is a decision you must make on your own, for only you will know when and if you will be able to win your life game, and come back home triumphant. Most life games will be hard to win, but if you make the wisest decisions about how to grow in love and wisdom, you will come to the end of your life game and know who you are and that this time you have won the game and can go home forever. These issues will help you to know when to set the date to return home."

"My dear daughter, I am so blessed to have you come and sit with me, and help me to see things in a more logical and orderly manner. You have given me a breath of fresh air and a new desire to forge on, and learn what I can in the other houses I must visit. I do believe I can make good choices and choose my pathway in such a way that it will lead me back to home triumphant. I thank you so much."

"Mother, it has been my joy. Just relax now and get your strength back, then return to Glenna and finish your life game path. Trust in your judgment and the feelings you receive in your heart."

And then, as suddenly as she had come, Carol disappeared, and I was alone once more in my quiet place. It is possible that this is the last time I will be in my quiet place for a while, but I believe that I can carry my quiet place in my mind and heart when I go to Earth, and that I can slip away to there in my dreams and day dreams.

I stayed in my quiet place for a long period, and then I began to think of Glenna and the excitement that will be found in the new Houses I would be experiencing.

I thought of Glenna and was with her once again on the Isle of Purpose.

Tuesday, Chapter 11, the House of Cosmetics: did you choose the color of your complexion, hair, or eyes before being born?
I am going on vacation for three days and then will be back at the blog, thank you for your support!

MAKING CHOICES IN MY QUIET PLACE

THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 10...

It was early morning in my quiet place; salty air swirled around the meadow making the area cool and moist. It was refreshing to my body and spirit; a perfect day for meditating and planning.

I sat on my white rock and felt it gently conform to my body. I took some deep breathes and stretched my limbs, then I cleared my mind of all else but the deep pece and beauty that surrounded me, and closed my eyes to meditate.

I felt a presence around me and opened my eyes to see my daughter, Carol, standing in front of me. She was so beautiful with her long black hair and tender, dark blue eyes.

"Good morning mother, how are you feeling," she asked. "I have come to help you sort through your thoughts and feelings, and help you see the threads of your life game plan. May I sit down with you?"

"Surely, Carol, welcome to my quiet place!"

With that said, Carol also sat on my white rock chair and I was amazed to see the rock expand and conform to her body also.

"Have you thought about setting up your goals and actions in this new life game?" Carol asked.

"I have a sense, a slender thread of a plan in mind at this time. I have come to realize that even here there are consequences-even though they may be future consequences-for your actions; your choices. For every choice I have made there are consequences that I see in the next step and set of choices I make. Why, my choice to have children, to be a mother, affects every other choice I make. One thing I know, my main goal, my first and constant choice, is to be a mother, all else pales before that choice."

"Well I am certainly glad for that," said Carol. "let's just look at some of the consequences you have already set up for yourself, as you've made choices in your journey through the houses on the Isle of Purpose.

"You know you are going to the planet Earth; to be born in the city of San Diego, in the State of California, and in the country of the United States of America. That is a fortuitous place of birth that you will be very pleased with.

"You will wrestle with the issue of adoption and the confused feelings that are a result of that choice, but you will be glad you have the parents you have chosen.

"All of your life you will have a drive to learn about everything, especially religion, which will cause you much confusion, until you have come to a place in your life when you come to terms with all you have learned on this subject. Your drive to learn will lead you to a strong desire to go to college, you will be faced with a decision of whether to go to a college and get an advanced degree, or to become a mother first and get your education later.

"Your next challenge is to figure out how many children to bear and how to have a choice in the matter. Then, as you have just learned, you will also be called upon to raise four step children and you will worry if you will have enough strength and endurance to see that challenge through.."

Tomorrow, the conclusion of my quiet place choices...

CHOOSING OUR RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE BIRTH (conclusion)

THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 9...

"Help me Glenna, this can't be true, I'd never marry or have anything to do with a person of his character. Would I?"

"Honey, choice is always up to you. When this person enters your life you will be at the bottom of the barrel and so poor that you will lose your house and might have to send the boys to live with their father. Ben will try to take advantage of the situation, but you will have the final choice."

Good, I thought, that man I will avoid like the plague.

After a little while had passed, a humble young man of medium build came up to the table and introduced himself as Bruce. He took my hand and led me out onto the dance floor; he was not light on his feet, but he gave it his all.

"Ann," he said, "I will come into your life shortly after Ben. You will be very vulnerable and I will understand your problems because I will have similar problems. I have four children to raise, no mother for them, and no home to take them to. We will strike a bargain to put our finances together and find a home for all nine of the children. We can do together what we cannot do alone. I will ask you to marry me many times but you will always refuse; I think because I have been married and divorced three times before, and you do not want to be a fourth wife. Besides, you will be very protective of your children and not want to get into another long term relatonship. I will love you totally and really admire you. You can trust me to take care of you and all of the cildren. We will have many problems, true, but together we will overcome most of them. Please consider me and choose me, for all of our sakes."

"You know Bruce, I recognize, after meeting Ben, that I will be faced with many problems at the time I meet you. I trust you and I choose to go through all of those problems with you, but you are right, I will never marry you. Thank you for being so honest and forthright."

And with that, Bruce took me back to my table. I sank down into my seat with shaky legs and hands. My word, what am I getting into in this new life game? Did I press a "trouble and woe" button somewhere?

Glenna took my hand and smiled at me gently. "Do you want to leave Ann? Have you seen enough yet?"

"Is there more to see? Let me look at my card."

I looked at my card and there was only one name left, a Bob, and a short sentence that said, "I am a surprise."

"No, Glenna, my card is almost over, let's stay and see this through. I'm very interested to see who the  'surprise' is."

I took a little break and went back to the buffet table to have some cheese and fruit. I needed a space to catch my breath, but all I could think of was; nine children. Nine children; could I possibly be strong enough to raise nine children?

When I got back to the table there was a young man sitting there waiting for me. He introduced himself as Bob and suggested that we sit this dance out and just talk. He told me that he loved me but that ours would be a forbidden relationship; hidden, but necessary for both of us to continue living. He said that we would never dream that such a relationship could come to pass, but circumstances would bring us closely together. He said that we would both have a need for each other and that we would treat each other with great respect and love. He asked me to trust in him and our relationship, and to choose him to be my lover.

No one had ever asked me such a thing, but I told him that I would consider him for a relationship depending on the circumstances that surrounded us. He kissed my hand and said that that was good enough for him. Then he said a polite good-bye.

Almost done I thought, and most of the experiences I had had this evening were unnerving to say the least. One more "surprise" the card said, Could I bear another surprise?

Something made me look up and I saw, striding towards my table, a tall man with long auburn hair and beard. Surely I am dreaming! Surely it can't be my Ed! But it was, with a wicked happy smile he came up to my table, said, "hello, I am your big surprise," and asked me to dance. He said that he had requested the orchestra to play a song for us; "Harvest Moon," by Neil Young.

I was finally in his arms. Surely I must be dreaming, after all this long and disquieting night, happiness and joy.

"Well Ann," he said, "I promised you that we would meet in this new life game. It is towards the end of my life game, but we have plenty of time to get to know and love/hate each other. Our relationship will be turbulent, but also very spiritual and giving. We will come to love and care for each other so deeply that we will become as one. I will ask you to marry me, and you will say 'yes.' I must tell you that our relationship will be beset with struggles and cares, but you will always support me and so we will come out on top; 'you are such a woman to me,'"

"Ed, I totally accept you just as you are; good times and bad for all infinity. I will marry you and love only you for all of my life, and in the afterlife, when we come back home, we will always be one."

Ed led me back to my table, I was walking on air, and he gave me a short kiss and said good-bye. He hated good-byes, and so he walked quickly away.

I dissolved into tears of sadness and joy. Sadness that it would be so long before I saw him again, but joy that after a hard life I would be with my Ed at last.

"Glenna, my card is finished now, and I see my future to be very tumultuous, but amazingly varied. There sure won't be any dull moments. Could we go on now, I'm ready to leave this place. I think I'd like to go to my quiet place and meditate for a while."

"Dear," said Glenna, "you have gone thought a rough and busy night. I think that would be a good idea. When you have come to closure in your quiet place, and you are ready to proceed, we will next be going to the House of Cosmetics, and that should be fascinating for you.

"When you are ready for me again just think of me and we wll be together again. Remember that I love you and have faith in you."

And with that said, I thought and was in my quiet place again.

Tomorrow I visit my quiet place and my daughter Carol comes to visit me to help me sort things out...
