Friday Freewrite Fifteen




I am setting it for fifteen, and here I go. I love Fridays. I decided not to teach on this day, and I do mostly paperwork and tie up loose ends. Today, I need to clean up my Type Four Enneagram materials and send it to my directee. I need to read more of Spiritual Direction: A Practical Introduction by Pickering so I can get it ready for Module 2 of the spiritual direction training. I need to put the finishing touches on my manual by adding my new Examen and discernment visual images to my manual and add about being able to do sticky notes for the Blessed History Timelines that the people in the new RAD SEEL will be going through this summer. I want to give them plenty of time to do that. They will refer to it as they go through the first weeks of the Exercises and then when they look at Sin Patterns (that sounds so bad, but it is really quite freeing in every way). 

So those are the main things I want to do work-wise, but I also want to take a morning walk, clean up the house so that it is ready for our impromptu Fourth of July party and all that. I think it is just Katherine and John and our kids so far. So that will be great. 

I also want to finish Narnia, and I have about 1 1/2 of reading listening. So I will do that after my freewrite. 

I think today I will get back on the wagon of eating since tomorrow will be a treat day. Then, I will go from July 4th to our anniversary on July 21 with logging and eating in moderation. Then we start our vacation. I think that we will go away as a family. I think George forgot that that will be our vacation time as a family. So, I don't think he can go fishing with M and J. That's OK though. 

I need to call the Trappist Monastery about going to them.

Oh, I will also go through the CRFs that are in the Student Participation folder. That will be really good. 

I would like to have our last CRFs be the Grocery List of the directees. Noticing what gives you life in direction and what does not give you life. It will be really good. 

I think that I need to hear from R in order to send everything out to the participants in the SEEL. 

I have work to do, but it is not overwhelming in any way. I will listen to Narnia when I go on my walk. That will be great. Maybe I will even do Glen Eden today. I can do hills.

Oh, I also have to do the Pilates with the Magic Circle. I keep putting it off. 

Oh, I also would like to finish the Life with God Lesson 5 assignments. I think this has added things to my plate. I think I will NOT take any continuing education or contract out my supervision services with anything that runs through the summer again. That would be really nice to not have ANYTHING extra. The Life with God training has not been a lot extra, but it is enough that I would like to be freer to go and do, especially since George is retired now.

I can feel the sun coming up and on my back. So I think I will go right after I am done with this freewrite. I am going to transfer it over to Penzu too. Maybe later I will write my review of The Last Battle in the Narnia series and also my review of the Life with God Resources manual later on today. 

Oh, look at that, I have 1 minute left on my timer. I thought it has been about 15 minutes. I love it. 

I'll finish up my second cuppa' and go out in the morning light. Such a beautiful day today. And it is great! 

So, all I have is walk, read, write, and work. That is easy-peasy.

Oh, I might watch some basketball later on today too!
