Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the
comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.

I'm having...My very favorite Good Earth Tea
My teacup...is a delicate teacup. It is so very dainty!
I'm feeling... renewed. I had a good rest last night and am ready to meet today!
On my mind...is the weekend. It always seems to be so very busy anymore. Thanks be to God for Wednesdays. My day to catch up. Saturday we go to Terre Haute to meet with Sr. Dorothy for Spiritual Direction and that evening is the Christ Renews His Parish potluck. Sunday is the Boy Scout Pancake Breakfast at Holy Rosary, The Gathering of Providence Associates at Saint Meinrad Archabbey, and CRHP team formation Sunday evening. Whew!!! Pray for me!!!!
Today I also join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday. For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live. God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.
Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
being just as grand as
beautiful color and it's contrasts. I must be open to it!
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. - Henri Nouwen
