Journal

I was on retreat back in April and one of the things that we looked at was motivation and maintaining momentum.

I have some work still to hand in in order to get a diploma that I passed the exam for, almost two years ago. I have been prevaricating and now my tutor has left and I don't know if the new person will sign my work off.

The point is that I made decision to dedicate each Wednesday to completing this work - I have done this for the last two weeks and have produced two pieces of work. I have agreed that my supervisor and i will sit down nest time and try to get it all together. We'll see - it' so nuts to have spent £1800 of my son's money and not to get a diploma at the end is ridiculous and ungratful! Watch this space!

Unsurprisingly, I find that I have hardly meditated at all since my last journal entry. I am baffled by my apparent inability to do something that has such a positive effect on my life.

 I often think that it would be cool to be a diarist but fear that it is way too late to get into the habit. Anyway, I find that I frankly don't feel that I have anything to say, and yet, it would certainly help in prompting my degenerating memory from time to time. God knows what would happen if I ever had to give evidence at a trial, I doubt I would be able to recall events with anything like the accuracy required for testifying under oath!

Hmmm, what's coming up then??? Oh yes, I am preaching twice on Easter Sunday, so I had better get my finger out and do some preparation! But will I?? or will I find that it is Good Friday and I've not done anything?!
