Suddenly Saturday:)
"Meditation is a time of quiet, when the mind is freed from its attachment to the hysterical ravings of a world gone mad. It is a silence in which the spirit of God can enter us and work his divine alchemy upon us." ~Marianne Williamson
Love this early time of day when the body is relaxed and empty, mindful and awakening with very hot coffee.;-) Can hear the rain trickling off the gutters and the distant bus rumbling up the hill.
Everything feels so extraordinary. This is an older residential area of my childhood, my parents' house now vacant before Mom puts it on the market, among amazingly well kept homes with very large gardens. Hers needs weeding and tending badly which I will relish doing as soon as work breaks for the summer...and the rains let up, whichever comes first. Good ol Vancouver has had record rainfall this June, with temps lower than the last four decades. Really not minding having some extra time to plow through the paperwork and get the body in shape lol. Morning runs outside will be magical when the sun comes...
Will get to the gym first thing. Then have three sets of class assignments to mark and grades to enter into the computer. Will space that out, 2-3 hours at a time, at various locales and tabletops lol. Will enjoy peeking at journals on my breaks.:)
Later tonight might go to evening mass rather than morning mass tomorrow. The difficulty is my ex would be there...not sure I'm ready for that but guess I can try. They are my community and I miss them. Feels special worshiping God joined with the words and hands of long-time friends, but seeing ex is so weird. Let's see what happens...
Hope all my buddies have a super, healthy day. Peace;-)

I love the early morning when no one else is stirring...just me and the furbabies! They love it as well. Coffee brewing, birds singing, the wind in the trees, but it is hot! We could use some of your rain...it is really dry here. I will have to water again today. Did the weeding and trimming yesterday. Glad that you are going to try going to mass tonight. We all need our spiritual family for support, and if the ex is there, well, surely it won't be a problem. I know that must be so difficult for you. Hope the sun shines for you soon. Enjoy your tabletop hopping! :) HUGS, my sweet friend!

Great idea going to mass tonight. I didn't realize you still went to the same church.I agree that worshiping among friends in a familiar place is the best. It's where we can be close to God. I am having a hard time finding a church that makes me feel that way. We have been getting our share of rain down here too. This is the rainy season here and they tell me it lasts until November. Luckily it just afternoon (usually thunderstorms, with lightening like I have never before seen) then it clears up and is nice again. Temps are pretty high here but I don't mind because the lanai is awesome. I hope you get all your work done and get to the gym. Maria I am sending you a pm.

Got your pm Cathy and have replied. Wish you the best and forgot to sign off with "Much love."!! Searching can be a process, but God will lead you to Him and you will know it INSTANTLY in your heart where you belong. Soo excited for you.:)) Stef: The fear of suffering can be worse than the suffering, an enormous obstacle in itself lol. Will try to be brave.;-) Enjoy that sunshine!!
