New Rhythms

Even as I title this post, I know that I don't have time to do the topic justice.  That the new rhythms of my life demand that I turn my lights out very shortly, and sleep, rather than staying up into the wee hours I've always loved, and spending time writing.

So maybe I will leave it here:  September has been a month of discovering new rhythms for me.  Of juggling, and failing, and trying again, and slowly the pieces are coming together.

I'll share more about that soon, as things continue to change and settle into place.

In the meantime, share with me some of the important rhythms of your days and weeks?

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 44

Today's Daily 5:

  1. Leftover curry for lunch
  2. peppermint gum (keep in mind that I believe mint flavoring should only occur in gum and toothpaste)
  3. one of those days where I just felt good in my own skin
  4. the first time wearing a new scarf
  5. the laughter of sharing life and walking through scripture at house church

"If..." Take 7

If you were to name the healthiest thoughts you have on a daily basis, what would they be?
(from "If...Questions for the Soul" by Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell)

My list of thoughts that are healthiest would probably look something like this:

  • Maybe I am healing.
  • What made me smile today?
  • That was beautiful.
  • I'm thankful for...
  • That's a lie, and I can choose not to believe it.
