TWO WEEKS TO GO!

I can hear the clock ticking very loudly now.  No, wait-  maybe it's just the alarm clock.

I have three lists - the haveta, the wanna and the nowayJose.  But you know, when I get on that plane, all shall be well, as Julian of Norwich says. 'Mary' says, "C'mon, let's go.  I can't wait!"  And 'Martha' says, "Keep crossing stuff off the list."  But the list includes daily time for myself, including meditation. My parish, St. Anne's,  DePere WI, continues to lift me up in prayer, supporting me in every way possible.  I have little 'blood' family, but my friends are my family, too, and we shall go on this transforming journey together.  What glorious days of sunshine and cool temperatures with which to prepare!

 One special thing to look forward to is meeting my God-child, Mitali Rui Das,  Mitali is four years old, and goes to school on the compound at St. Michael's.  I've seen her picture: what a little charmer!  I decided last year to put my money where my mouth is, and sponsor her. How good it feels to put Mitali ahead of my coffee and sweet rolls.
