Test Blog - more public navel gazing

Good Morning Bloggers. It just is morning a few minutes after midnight. I should be sleeping but feel restless, feel like connecting but hubby had to go to bed so he can get up bright and early for clinicals.
I'm testing this out to see if I like it more or less than livejournal

TODAY I AM GRATEFUL FOR:

Hope - I finally met w/ infertility doc & he gave me hope

Husband - Even on days when our time together is brief -we make a point to connect He's a good man and I'm so grateful he's in my life

Health Insurance such as it is - I am grateteful to have healht insurance so that I can recieve care I need - when there are so many people in this country who go without insurance, and so without care, without medications, without hope.

Grandpa walking - continued prayers that he continues on the mend.

Beauty - in art - in actoin - in wonderful soft fibers in lovely colors that didn't use to be possible.

Not so much more to say. It's 7 days into Lent - and while we have found a church -I have yet to do the Examen every day like I had planned. For the uninitiated The Examen is a Jesuit thing - It's part of Xavier Loyola's Spiritual Exercises - a daily exercise called the examen of conscience. I'm not sure it's something I want to do publicly - yet without public accountability - I'm not doing a very good job of sticking to it. hmmm let me think about this - there is a good chance that no-one will read my blog - but there is some random change that someone might....

I babble badly - time to put this post to bed

What will I do better tomorrow:

Eat smaller portions & fewer calories, talk less and listen more, take time to enjoy the pups and birds, stop and enjoy the weather, offer help when I feel the impulse rather than feeling shy about whether it is wanted, and most of all FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS. I will focus on the tasks at hand and resist distraction tomorrow. (All the more reason to take my rest today)
