oh, I do love chocolate too. I found I “need” a silent retreat each year and really miss it if I don’t go. It is a priority for me now. Am trying quarterly quiet days now too – shorter ones. May just walk in the park in spring for the next one. Have a great weekend!

I’m trying to lose some weight myself, and it takes constant vigilance. I’m a bit of tough case when it comes to chocolate.
I love the quote from Norman V. Peale. I really do need to let go of each day, and begin again, better and stronger.
Congrats on signing up for your silent retreat! I still haven’t done one, but it’s on my bucket list for sure.
It was a great month for you 🙂
Ceil

Perfect match to your word of the year, Lisa. Let me know if you liked the book too. Yes one thing leads to another. some of those rabbit trails lead to treasure and others to procrastination. I wish we knew ahead of time which leads to what. LOL Sounds like your May retreat will be great with your daughter in the lead. Proud mama moment!

Then I got the kindle sample for the book it was excerpted from. One thing always leads to another. 🙂 I’m glad you scheduled your silent retreat! I don’t have anything scheduled at our semi-local monastery this year but I do have a retreat scheduled in May with a group my daughter is co-leading. I’m excited about that.

I know, Martha, that poem struck me too. Yes busy and a few moments of panic as I can’t get everything done but then I remember God is in control and I lean on Him! Have a great week!

Sounds to me like you are going to be on the go these next several months, but knowing you, you’ll take time in the midst of it all to slow down and simply be with God.
Blessings!
