This week I had appointments or events or something every day. Some of it went well, like lectio divina with Y this morning. Others, like one of my dr appointments, were disappointing. My moods have been horrible and I have been physically exhausted. Today I slept from noon until it was time to take A … Continue reading Getting Prepared
Low
I plummeted yesterday, and today I remained low. I can't shower. I'm not really functioning. I'm very tired.
Early Valentine’s Day
Yesterday, C and I went out to celebrate Valentine’s early, since he had the day off work and things would be less busy. We got a light lunch and some cinnabon to take home. We also went to the bookstore and the beach. Then we came home and took a nice nap. It was a … Continue reading Early Valentine’s Day
Changes Coming This Spring
Some of my views may be changing. I'm learning about the Catholic Church and the roots of Christianity, and soon this may not be a fundamentalist/evangelical page. It may be more....trad cath.

Giving Up Something
Today I learned in OCIA that Catholics are supposed to give something up every Friday. It can be a food or food in general. It can be social media or another idol of the heart. But because Christ died for us on a Friday, Fridays we must sacrifice something too. I'll probably do a mix … Continue reading Giving Up Something
