We're a week into July already. Time goes by so quickly, it's nice to pause for a moment and recollect the best parts of the week with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story.
1. Safety and comfort. This has been a week of extremes. We had heat warnings a couple of days as the heat index made the temperatures outside feel even higher (108F one day). Then we had strong thunderstorms three days, with 1-inch hail one evening. I'm thankful we didn't lose power, though the lights flickered a few times. I'm thankful also that we didn't sustain any damage from the wind or hail.
2. The 4th of July. Freedom, family, food, and fireworks. Doesn't get much better than that. 
We can't have fireworks in our county, but we could see some displays from our back yard. Thankfully, the weather was nice that day.
3. Favorite Asian take-out. There is an Asian restaurant we like, but it's a little too far away to get take-out. But it's not as far from church, so we stopped there to get dinner and bring it home Sunday. Good stuff--and the servings were enough for two more lunches of leftovers.
4. Free prescriptions. The last time I picked up prescriptions, there was no charge, even for a very expensive one. I didn't process things enough in the moment to ask why there was no charge. When Jim picked up some others this week, he asked. They said that happens when our deductible is paid with our insurance. I had a colonoscopy back in January which met our deductible. But I don't remember this ever happening before. He confirmed that the drugstore was getting paid what they were due. I guess that's one advantage to having a procedure early in the year!
5. Things to look forward to. We booked my oldest son's flights for his visit in August. Plus we'll see some of my family later in the fall.
To let you know: The folks who interviewed me a couple of times before, Kurt and Kate Mornings on Moody Radio Florida, asked to interview me again on Tuesday, July 1, around 8:10 a.m. or shortly thereafter. They want to talk about my blog post on regret. There's a link on their page to listen live if you'd like to. Plus I'll try to have someone record it like we did before. I'd appreciate your prayers!
