May God give you of heaven's dew and of earth's richness— an abundance of grain and new wine.
Dear Mister God, first of all, thank you for letting me survive the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It was a new experience I was glad to have. To say the least. Maybe I am too old for it, maybe I was too uptight, I was simply getting annoyed at every which way. People who left their dirty plates and cups around the office. People who said just the right words to get on my wick. Then I stopped speaking to everyone soon after because even the sight of them upset me. That's right. I'm quite capable of ditching relationships over dirty dishes, I display a natural knack for it.
Some people were pleasant. Mostly those I didn't have to work with. But on the whole, the festival was great. The weather was delightful albeit Scotland's notorious reputation; we managed to have one BBQ! The company made good earnings this year and most performers seemed genuinely happy. And as I'm typing this fervently, alone in the office at 11:30pm, there are people out at some crowded place crying their hearts out because it's all over and they cannot bear having to say goodbye and go home.
But there are no tears in my eyes because "you're so cold" says one of the interns. Cold? Oh Mister God! Am I cold? Will You show me where I have gone wrong and help me improve myself or am I destined to be another one of those grumpy old maids who works in the library? Cold.
If I say repeatedly, "I want to be happy", will life get better for me or is that too "self help" and unChristian-like? I'm confused. Please help me get back on track, Mister God. Thank you!
Oh and lastly, I missed you. Lots of love, Patty. xx

Luke 4:39
So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her.
Dear Mister God, please make my fever, cough and cold go away so that I may be well again to work. And thank you for the kindness of my colleagues who have brought food to me and sent me well wishes. Please bless them and keep them safe from harm. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen. xx
