My morning began with dragging Drew out of bed at 6:20 AM, followed by a 7:15 doctor appointment, morning and afternoon teaching sessions, two scheduled and two unscheduled late afternoon meetings, an evening reference shift and a touch-base session with the evening supervisor. I wandered home around 10:30 PM.
This is not how my days usually go, but for some reason lately I find I am on the go all day long. Whether it is preparation for classwork or for my March 6 recital or for family stuff like Drew's Robotics and Soccer or Kiel's wedding prep, there is just so much life to be lived! I am delighted to be kept occupied, but I must guard against letting go of the important things.
I actually missed my morning prayers today for the first time in some time. I was sad all day. But after I got home and unwound a bit, I decided to read both Vespers and Compline. It was like taking a long relaxing hot bath. How luxurious to breathe in and out the prayers of the ancients, the thoughts of the Almighty.
He restores my soul. It is so true. I climbed into bed and slept sweet peace. Thank God.
