Short and sweet today. Although many contemplations are in my head as usual, I haven't the time or energy to put them out in great length. Suffice to to say: It's lent, and I'm on a journey. This journey is full of mixed emotions--joy and excitement; fear and anger; wonder and hope; and, of course, many more. I'll share a taste of the excitement that has quickly led to being overwhelmed, as it is on top of my usually busy schedule of classes and work: I am currently pursuing what might come next after graduation and have been in contact with potential sources...yes, this means tackling the elusive question that everyone seems to ask me these days upon hearing of my impending graduation. What's next? Usually, I give some vague "I don't know" or "I've got a wide open door of possibilities"...really it's all been conceptual and ideas, until now. And all this has brewed before my prayerful soul can catch up to do the work of discernment...
This shall be an interesting journey, to say the least. oh, and one of my lenten practices: fasting from alcohol. Sometimes I enoy beer like I enjoy a good cup of coffee, and other times I fall prey to the need to consume...so here I am, a week into my fast. So far, it is liberating.
