a good day ....

I need to write - I have this kind of desire to organize

my thoughts about today and the kind of implication today has for my current life

and future. Things are good. I got up at 5am and then went down to set up church at 6am.

Church set up went well and I got the word that I would be conducting

the service on my own for the first time. I determined to stay in the moment and keep on keeping on.

Service went well - a few mistakes - but I was pleased and I got a few really nice

compliments for the success of my first liturgy that I served.

I went to the coffee room in between service and Trapeza (cafeteria where we 

eat every meal.) Then after the first meal, I took the regular meals up to the rectory 

for the guys - and then set down to doing some phone calls that I have needed to do.

I set up an appointment and checked the status of some financial stuff. I made some tea

and was chomping at the bit for a better way to conduct my life.  I was pleased with

the way I conducted my first service alone. It brought back memories of conducting

good meetings at my job in 'corporate.' 

I was letting that be the sucess of the day - but I want to be inspired to do more...

I am trying to live in the moment to make good decisions about what to do.

Weather permitting, I'll go to the gym tomorrow - as my fitness is now a big

part of my daily plan. I could draw too. Focusing on that might be a good idea.

Here's another drawing I did recently. I posted about it on Facebook and how I reflected with my friend and artist Eliza by showing her this drawing I had just made. More recent years have made me think my drawings had no legitimacy, as in why what I draw should be considered art or be special? Lately I’ve realized that I tend to find myself in prayer in my life and so that thought seems to give me the beauty love that my drawings are prayers…and that’s ok!:) That’s enough. 

Keep on keeping on. :)
