I'm still not up to par today. This stomach flu is nasty. It causes me some concern but I'm hopeful for a better tomorrow. I got up at 8:00 today...exhausted. Went back to bed at 8:30 and slept until 2:00 p.m.!!!!!! I was shocked when I woke up. The reality was that I could have stayed there. All I wanted to do was rest. But...I am up and checking in and looking forward to some activity today. To actually get in the shower will be a milestone.

I have planned a 'Hermitage weekend' starting Friday morning. I am heading even farther north than Minneapolis deep into the MN northwoods to a tiny cabin on a lake. I will be unplugging from all electronic devices. I won't be totally alone as there are Franciscians who will bring me a breakfast basket each eay. I am looking forward to more rest, reading time and plenty of reflection.

I have come to a point in my life where I wonder what I am doing with all I have been given. I am not 'rich' by any means and have to continue to work to support myself. But I am 'rich' by many standards of the world...if even by having a warm bed in which to sleep. Yet I do not see myself manifesting the joyful thankfulness that I 'should'. And 'should' is a very dangerous word, I know. But does this have a relationship to my overeating? Is there a low-grade fever of something bothering me that affects what I do each and every day?

I need to rethink this. Maybe even over-think it. But with reflection and collecting my thoughts in a journal I am hopeful for some kind of self-awareness that will help me to embrace each and every day.

Have a healthy day my friends.
