I pray Lord for Light upon my day.
Two to three things I am grateful for:
1) Healed leg - how wonderful to ride my bike in the rain and through the cathedral of trees. With the rain and sunshine, there was a rainbow. My leg had some trouble during weight lifting class. I still cannot do lunges, but I am so grateful that I can do almost everything.
2) Healed heart - Sticking Sister Joan. It did stick. I am healed. I am not eviscerated. God used the hurt heart to take me to deeper places.
3) Face to Face with Nancy - To say I have true and deep friends would be an understatement. I loved my Pastini's lunch with Nan.
Morning - Calm. Dwelling in my belovedness as I meditated through more verses. Examen prayer to review the good day to the Abbey and Sister Joan.
Late Morning - The bike ride through my cathedral. It is OK to take that longer route because it is part of nourishing my soul. Classes with bands. I love my students. They seem eager and receptive. What more could I ask for?
Noon - Back to the weight lifting class. They wondered about the broken leg. The women that were cliche and post-bac are gone to other jobs. It is a more permanent and fun crowd. Nikki teased me, but I did not mind. I am still having to do alternatives to some exercises though. It will take time to totally heal.
Afternoon - Riding my bike to Pastini's for a 2 1/2 hour lunch with one of my dearest ones, Nancy. YUMMY food and even yummier company. I love talking about soul things.
Evening - Shower and lunch. Some more Spiritual Exercises. I talked with George. I will probably have an early night tonight. I am tired from all the activity.
Regret - None
Meaningful - Time with Nan. So nourishing to my soul.
Lord, thank you for this wonderful day.
Life-Giving
Teaching, face to face time, and riding my bike in the rain with a rainbow.
Deadening
Nothing that I can think of. It was a good day.
Now I am going to press the button and more to the next thing!

One woman's journey to wellness through a well-adjusted heart, well-watered soul, well-educated mind, and well-tuned body.
