I'm having a Dr. Quinnerific evening. sigh
I made a couple of sirloin steaks for dinner with some wild rice pilaf and broccoli. Hubby is such a meateater, it's his favorite meal. I could do without it in large quantities, but hubby craves it. Actually, since my jaw went extra haywire, it's really hard to eat steak because I have such a hard time chewing. So I enjoy it even less than I used to.

Today in church, the schoolkids were leading part of the Mass. The priest called them all up on the altar to form a circle and hold hands while we said the Our Father. A couple of girls were straggling and got left out of the circle. One just squeezed in and got the two kids to release hands and join with her. But the other girl was too shy. She hesitated several times, moving first to one position and then to another, but no one noticed her and she was too shy to barge in.
Finally she just stood there, outside the circle. All the other kids, as kids will be, were in their own world, oblivious, backs to her. Finally, another little girl caught sight of her, dropped the hand she was holding and held it out to the little girl on the outside, gesturing for her to come join her. And the first little girl walked over and got into the circle, holding the hand of the second girl.
I tell ya, I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't get over how sweet it looked to see that girl holding out her hand to the other one. And it gave me hope for another generation.

What if there is a man in the moon? What if he's lonely? And waiting all this time for us to get there. And then we couldn't reach him? What if that cannonball with the people in it just circles and circles? And he can see 'em circling. What if he knows that they're out there and then they can't reach him?
