Come and See

This coming weekend will be a weekend spent with a community of Sisters on a "come and see weekend," for those who feel called to the religious life. I don't know if the women who were at the last one will be there or if there will be any new one's. This one will be good since I have to write a paper for the Sisters. We are in the early stages, the inquiry part and yes I got the go ahead to get to know them and them to get to know me. One of the reasons for the letter.

A few people have asked me if I was going to the Eucharistic Congress from the Dominican Laity. They had wondered if I received the information for it. I did, but I still can't go. Not that I don't want to, I do. But it is in God's hands, not mine. It's his will I have to follow. The same for the women's conference we are having on March 2, I inquired too late about it and it is sold out. I sent my info in anyway according to the person I spoke with. That too, it's up to God.

I mentioned some time ago about some weight gain and now have come to grips that diet is not always easy. I have cut so much back, but I also realized that my job is an all day sit. Then I thought about after work and that too is more sitting. I think by far most of the day is spend on the backside of things. So I moved some furniture, the table that was in the way of the treadmill and started to walk. I placed my calendar in front of it so I could mark down each time I walked the treadmill and for how long. It's not just setting a goal, it's disciplining myself into a routine.

One that I kind of slipped a bit when the weather grew too cold to walk outdoors. Now I can beat myself up, laughingly, because I am to blame for the roly poly look. I love me, but I don't particular care to be on the beefy side. twenty pounds less and that might help. I will start with that. One thing I am thankful for, is to have enough sense to take care of the weighty matter to begin with, and if I were truly sensible enough I wouldn't have gotten overweight, but did the right thing. Okay, okay enough of the plump stuff, I've forgiven myself for it and besides no one cares about it as much as I do anyway. If this didn't put a smile on I don't know what will, because I'm laughing over here because I found it doesn't really matter. I guess I should stop for now. There are some things I need to reflect on and write about, but not on here.
