As the sunrise is getting later, I tend to sleep late. In addition, I am in the middle of the season of the pollen allergy, so I take a walk in the morning less often these days.
The other day I got up at 5:10, wondering if I should go out. I put on a mask and a cap, and left my house at 5:40. "Better late than never." The air was cool and comfortable. It was refreshing to walk in the beautiful morning sunlight.
Replaying in her mind the rude remark one of her colleagues had made about her earlier on that day, Vera was filled with so much anger again that she needed to vent.
Looking at Mary, who was sitting across the table from her, she said, "You know what?"
Just then, the kettle began to whistle.
"Just a moment."
Mary stood up, walked to the kitchen stove, turned off the heat and made jasmine tea.
The aroma of her favorite tea made Vera smile, and she no longer wanted to dwell on anything unpleasant.
The Bible Memory Challenge, which started last week, is going well. It is amazing that these verses are exactly what I need to learn and engrave in my heart right now.
Week 1

Sonia, who is now in her late eighties, is sitting on a faded sofa alone in her small room.
She has remained single all her life, and all of her relatives have passed away.
Sitting on the sofa, Sonia often thinks of the day when she went on a date with Victor for the first time, nearly seventy years ago.
On that beautiful day in May, Sonia and Victor went to an art gallery in the capital where they saw eclectic collection of paintings from foreign countries.
In her mind's eye, she saw Victor standing in front of a painting by Marc Chagall, in which a young couple was floating in the air in a room, with the lady holding a bouquet in her hand.
Remembering how Victor admired the painting, Sonia felt as if she were the lady in that painting.
