[Magdalen] Where are we

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Missing all of you! Would love to zoom again. 
Back in early November I briefly thought about floating our Christmas list-give and the next time I thought about it, it was almost December...

Marion, sorry to hear about your hip - hope you can get relief soon. Good to "see" you too,Judy! How's the Fleenerdude?

I hop we gather some pub momentum - more soon. 
Hugs and love across the miles to all !
Lynn

I'm here, but distracted.  My crappy hip is blurring my thinking and
sapping my energy.  Even getting my garbage bins up to the road in the car
is pretty much beyond me.  There is all sorts of stuff, not major,
happening at the church.  At least I think they're not major and that
creates problems about things not proceeding as they should.  And there's
all the COVID protocols and the heroic and highly effective woman
overseeing that whole effort.  I'm weary.

On the brighter side, i've been named by our Bishop to the Order of the
Diocese of Toronto  for years of volunteering in a wide assortment of
ministries and also serving  on Council and at General Synods.  Stuff.  You
know.  So I join our Chris Ambidge, ODT, as a Dame, our little joke.  In
these COVID days there will be something live streamed from our Cathedral
on Jan 1, but we recipients will not be there in person but in photos and
bios we will make some sort of virtual appearance.  Who knows?  It comes
with a lapel pin for every day and a gong on a ribbon for state occasions.

All I want for Christmas is a surgery date!

Good health and happiness to you all at this holy time.

Marion, a pilgrim, ODT   ... today my sail I lift ....
