Well, today my daughter, her fiance and our granddaughter come for a visit. It's a whirlwind for our daughter, and we won't see much of her, but basically our granddaughter will be around for a week. Then I'm flying her back and going on to visit a friend. Speaking of friends, I had a great long phone conversation with my childhood friend yesterday. She's on the east coast and has had health problems recently. We laughed and caught up and discussed her plans in regards to her 96 year old mother. I felt like I'd had a good "visit" after.
Last night my husband and I watched "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" again. It's a wonderful movie, and the best argument against testing on animals that could possibly be presented. Powerful to the point that it makes you treasure all beings, and understand their suffering. It's metaphorical possibilities are endless. I dreamed a bit about it last night. Our humanity rests in our compassion for other beings. This movie expresses that so well.
