A good start.

.
.
Laundry that was drying is done and out to be folded.  I found the blessed rosaries and others needing blessed.  I am not starting everything today.  Prayers, yes.  The rosary tomorrow.  As well, The Imitation of Christ, the book, has been found.  I will have to look for other such books, and begin reading the bible readings for the day.  Sometimes that will mean reading the same scriptures several days in a row.  I don't see a problem with that.

A shower after draining the dishes, then those were reset.  A fatted coffee is going down, then a chia breakfast to begin steeping.  Then trash and recycling.  I may fold laundry while I take a break.  Already am feeling like sleeping again.  Exhausted.  Don't be surprised.  I am surprised I am doing this much.  It won't last.  Has nothing to do with the will, definitely not a want issue.

I might be able to get all planned done, with a maybe on a start for the curtains.  I will do morning and evening prayers, maybe midday prayer as well.  I will do them offhand for now.  However, I will be seeking a pattern, recipe, guide, for better prayer practice.  The practice of faith, or in my case certainty, should be more than professional.  A profession may see food on the table, a roof over the head, clothes on the back... assuming God has nothing to do with that... an assumption I wouldn't risk my soul upon.  But neither does man live by bread alone, nor is this life the sum of our lives.

Tend the life given, don't believe or fully vest in it.  Pray, but improve prayer.  Include God in every decision, especially the ones you already know better about.  You aren't a saint.  You are commanded to be one.  The only way is through careful action and consideration, right and righter prayer, and slow improvement, learning, and discernment.  Mind you, that won't see you to heaven alone.  It might make you prone to the graces that will.

Well.  Good morning and day.
