Fun In February

The snow fell this morning covering the already freezing roads and caused car accidents. When I opened the blinds this morning and saw the snow, I changed my plans of going to get the mail. I'm hoping that I can do that tomorrow.
I started knitting the next project for the Prayer Ministry. I'm also knitting a few prayer cloths which will be given to the caregivers. Our group will be going to a retreat in March. It will take place on a Saturday and the speakers will be the two women who are responsible for starting the Prayer Shawl Ministry. I'm hoping that we are successful in going and that there are no snow storms that day. That would keep me home since I'm afraid of driving in the snow.
I signed up for the next church schedule. I hope to be a lector once in March and twice in April. February is filling in on my calendar. Besides doctor appointments, there are some "fun" things in which to participate. I'm having lunch at the tearoom next Wednesday with a friend. Our D.O. M. group meets on the 11th when we will have a "Wrapped In Red" auction to raise money for charity. The P.S.M. will meet twice in February also, and there is a Mardi Gras dinner for church volunteers. I plan to go to the dinner solo but will check to see who else may be going alone so I have some idea who I'll sit with. I don't find it easy to go to functions alone when other people attend with their families. I'll "offer up" the pain and uncomfortableness for Lent, which starts the next day on Ash Wednesday. I'm very happy that I decided to become more active in the parish family. I'm meeting some very wonderful people while doing so.
