Morning!
Headed to La Crosse this morning to have the windshield replaced, go thru the car wash, and maybe get a haircut. Then home to get ready for the wedding today. Looking forward to seeing everyone and hoping the old knee holds out well enough to dance at least one time with the man.

More work was done in the kitchen yesterday. Hard to believe what a little wainscotting can do for the looks of things. Slow and steady is how things work around here these days.

While the mind runs around like a hare. Not a good mix most days.

The cough continues to improve.
The windshield will be replaced tomorrow.
Today I am home until 5:15pm, when I will pick up a teacher and take him home. Thoughts of a quick run into La Crosse come to mind, but since I will be there tomorrow morning at 7, it seems ridiculous to make the trip today.
Office work should keep me occupied for most of the day. Bills to pay, letters to write, organizing, and clean-up to do.
Continue to pray for my friends Fran and Levi.
Tomorrow, we celebrate Oscar & Therese’s wedding

I’m up too early this morning and unable to return to sleep. Thankful for an easy day. Workers to and from the workshop and 1 teacher home. The government shutdown continues for the second day. The cough continues, with discomfort in the lung and kidney area. Not surprising with the force of the cough. I rescheduled my dentist appointment for January. Looking forward to a day off tomorrow.

In 1212, St. Dominic de Guzman saw the Virgin Mary, who gave him the rosary in response to his prayer for understanding how to combat the Albigensian heresy. St Catherine of Siena had a vision where each prayer became a rose of fire ascending to heaven.

Morning!
It’s going to be another beautiful day here in the wilds.
The trees have begun their journey to fall color and eventually drop their leaves to conserve energy for the winter months.
Reminds me of fall garden work to ready it for the fallow time of winter, where it will rest and conserve energy for the new life of spring.
The cycle of life never stops moving. There is reason in each season of life.

St Jerome, _{Patron of Librarians, teaches us gratitude for those whose learning benefits and advances all of us.}
Read Ezekiel Introduction
RIAY Day 273: The Glorious Mysteries
Meditations for Each Day pg. 391: Christian Modesty…We are often obliged, in the ordinary course of living or by reason of our position, to see many things which could be dangerous to our spiritual welfare. There are many ugly things around us, although sometimes externally beautiful, which we cannot help seeing. At home, on the street, in society, almost everywhere, we meet persons and things which constitute a threat to our virtue. What are we to do? We must see, because very often we cannot help it, but we must never stare.

Good Morning!
Today ends the month. How quickly it has passed by. As I look at my to-do list, I realize hardly a dent has been made in it. I could blame it on illness, but although that is a reason, it also goes without saying that I wasn’t fully committed to getting things crossed off the list. I’m finding that those things that I used to do without a thought have now become quite the chore. I dislike realizing I am not able to complete things I would not have given a thought to just a few years ago.
Copy work has been completed and is ready to deliver. I head to Wautoma today with 6 people who have medical appointments. Hopefully, I will be home at a decent time. The man is off to Arcadia.

RIAY Day 272: The Sorrowful & Glorious Mysteries

It is my day to pray for the CmomC. Let me know what you need.
Please continue to pray for my friends Fran & Levi.

Monday has arrived once again. The last Monday in September. On Wednesday, we will begin a new month. Perhaps now is a good time to reflect on the past month and identify areas where you could have been a better friend to Jesus. Where your life could have done something different to give greater glory to God. Go to confession with your sins, receive absolution/direction/and prayers to become a better person.
My day today will be relatively easy. The plan is to be in the office during workshop hours, printing a local family newsletter.
My cough has improved considerably, with the hope that it continues to improve. This has been a long haul for me.

Know you are prayed for.
