NEWS FROM BRUSSELSFather’s Day approaching fast June is scooting right along. It’s such an exciting month with school days coming to a close, graduations happening, weddings in the works and growth and renewal all about. Oh yes, June is busting out all over as the old song says. Father’s Day is another happening in June, a time to stop and think about your life and how your father influenced you. Heredity and environment are great influences on who we become and it is really interesting to watch yourself do and say things that could come right out of your parents’ body. Even more fascinating is to watch your children do the same. So here’s to fathers and the good influence they have on the next generation. If you’re free for lunch on Friday, the Huronlea Auxiliary is having a barbecue and would love to see you there. Do you ever have times in your life when things come to a spot that choices need to be made and all the information is not immediately available? Church circles are using words like crossroads, journey, roads, all to show that life is not static. Choices are made every day that guide our direction and often we are almost unaware – brush your teeth, read the paper, put on a coat. Each decision helps determine the future, the state of your teeth, your public knowledge and your health. How we live each day is our road to our future. Listening to Rev. John Buttars, from Guelph, at Trinity in Listowel last week reinforced all this. He was speaking on legal assisted death, from a retired clergy view. The details of many deaths inspired him to do very thorough research on the last stages of life. When the voice of experience tells you things that you thought already, it’s time for a lot more thinking. We came away with a list of questions and resources that help make the subject of end of this life, more normal and easier to plan and talk about. We are on a journey and we all take our own road, it’s at the crossroads that decisions get made that affect our days of living. With just a little extra moisture in the ground this week, work outside will take a bit of a rest until the ground dries. Watching the water whip over the island on the way to the dam, you knew a lot of rain had fallen. The island is visible now, but it’s still time for a little inside work. Better to get it done before the warm and sunny days lure you outside. Enjoy June. Bye now, Betty G.W.
