11/22/10 Med Class, Dr K, Pumpkin cries??? then gets better

In the beginning of meditation class, Cathy told us a sad, sad story about her nephew. He just died due to uncontrolled eating. Tomorrow she and her husband are going to spend the holiday with her sister who just lost her son. It was a beautiful class. We all prayed for the young man to bless him on his journey. The GD was from my teacher and from all the members of the class who prayed.

Before we left for class, we had a situation with Pumpkin. She was playing outside and suddenly Luke and I both had the feeling that we should let her in and feed her. She wasn't herself. She was crying very, very loudly--which is not like her at all. She didn't want to eat. It was strange. She yelled num num num but didn't eat and wanted to go right outside. We were worried.

When I opened the front door, she was sitting on her chair. We fed her and gave her water. As I stood watching her, I recalled my daily prayer--that God will give me easy lessons and let me learn and come to know him gently. I am going to contemplate the upset I went through when I thought Pumpkin was badly hurt.

When we got home from class , Pumpkin was gone--we thought that was good. She was able to get around. Mary-Kate knows everything. Well, she does. She and Luke have that in common. She was planning to come over to check out Pumpkin and see if she's hurt or what caused the pain that seems to be in her right back foot

We had to go to our chiropractor's appointment, but we weren't so worried. We knew that MKate would come and see about Pumpkin. And she did. Later she told me that Pumpkin seemed to be fine--her guess is that Pumpkin tried to jump from too high and hurt a joint in her right back side. MKate the vet did a good deed to Pumpkin and to Luke and I.

Okay. Another GD. We met someone at Whole Foods that we usually don't talk to. We did.

In a sweet way.
