Monday ~ Slowly towards on point + new book on St. Porphyrios

Mondays ~ whew, tiring.

Cleaning is caught up now.

Laundry, almost...

***

I am needing some quiet.

I can tell that I am physically quite tired

as well as emotionally,

last week was hard with all the adjustments and changes.

I am still waiting for some allergy things to be delivered....

***

Cleo saw some small birds and was doing her 

version of 'fierce lion-cub huntress' sounds, 

it was cute/funny...

***

Used the new dusting e-clothes today, they seem very durable.

We got a new shredder (we use it a lot and

ours was an old 'open' one with no enclosed basket, 

with a towel under it, totally ghetto and totally a DUST bucket).

So 43 lbs was carried up by me early this afternoon, was a bit intense,

up 2 floors of stairs...

***

I got a new small book on Saint Elder Porphyrios,

it's a talk that was given in Greece and later translated.

I am hoping it will be of help/comfort.

***

I am re-reading, again, L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time...

I love the familiarity of it and

the well chosen lines, the sense of home,

homecoming and themes of humility, family,

interdependence,...

Found a lovely little interview of Madeleine L' Engle

that I think many will love - and seeing her 'live' as it were.

I know I did... 

***

Enjoying listening to this tonight...

Praying for peace for us all!
