A good deal of energy
Prayer was helping me last night to think about the differences between me and other people. I was watching a British antiques show and I’m starting to see some new things including this.
Things are ok. Just was thoughtful last night. I’m finding that creating something really inspires me to feel better. So whether it’s a wisdom that is hard won or a piece of art or any other sense of accomplishment that is what helps me feel better.
I have a lot of energy after last night's rest. I was excused from service last night and this morning. Feels great!

Glad you were able to get a little bit of a break and that it refreshed you. Have a great day!
and? ? ? have you pulled those art supplies out from under your bed yet?
Thanks Becky and Arfie!!!
Later I had a meeting with my therapist. We talked and things got very close.I told her that I have a hard time with intimacy - and she said 'that's ok, we all have our strong suits and areas we're not strong in'After we had our conversation, I went about chores and errands. ...I felt badly- I felt that old nagging thought - 'you're never enough'I felt bad for falling short in life - but then again I started to think back to the praying as a way to cope with the differences between myselfand other people, like I had thought about last night. It is that I find myself here -at the monastery - with everyone in the same boat - and we find compassion for each other - our differencesand shortcomings - all tentative about breaching the water line - and I just felt the power of healing that I am flawed but I am ok - I have my Blue and he loves me -and I am lovedby my family- and friends - i love them! I have stronger areas in some places - and I am grateful to be accepted for who I am and I hope I NEVER lose sight of that
for myself and others.
Here's to finding the balance that works for you! Hurrah for enjoying the rest!
