TIME WARP....


Just as I was thinking of making myself some lunch this afternoon, the phone rang. It was my youngest sister phoning from Norway. I fetched my big woolen shawl and sat in my favourite cozy chair and settled in for a good gab-session with my favourite sibling. We talked and laughed and even shed a few sentimental tears. We talked about organizing our grandfather's paintings......They are scattered around the world and it will be difficult arrange, but we are hoping have them professionally photographed and have prints made so we can all have copies of all his painting.....now that technology makes it possible......

She raises and trains racing horses....trotters......which is a big sport in Norway and all over Europe.....so she caught up on that and so on.....She was in her studio and then her husband popped in see if she was O....Turns out we had been on the phone for 4 hours......and it was after one AM. where they are.....I hadn't even thought of the time difference. I had missed lunch and it was time make Supper.......It's amazing, isn't it? sitting there all cozy talking my sister like she was right there beside and then realizing it was literally night and day..........

It's amazing how time can just disappear as we enjoy a visit with loved ones.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Wow that is a long phone call. I sometimes chat with my sister for a couple of hours. We've been asked what we have so much to talk about. It is usually catching up with what's going on with the family and other gossip from the world. We also chat on Whatsapp. As I live on my own it is nice to have that connection and especially these days during the Pandemic.

Oh, my longest call from Germany to the states lasted 8 hours until the phone gave up. I had the speaker on, made coffee, "shared" a snack...... time did not exist. wonderful.

So wonderful to have chats like that, fantastic. Not sure if I ever had ones that lasted that long.
