Monday, quiet and with sweetness

The last picture is from last night.

I knew I was going to have a lot of phone errands today

and felt that I needed an extra push to have a good 

easy to plan morning tea.

It worked pretty well.

My insomnia is slowly subsiding but is still

waging a bit of a war. 

I had one moment that was quite exhilerating:

for the first time in MANY months I was able to 

sit down in our chapel/guestroom/library and actually

*read* books that I am taking notes in my journal...

(books by/about Rod Dreher, Seraphim Rose, St Theophan) and

such things.  I was so happy.

I hope that I can slowly get into a routine that includes this 

as part of my day again.  The whole breaking the ankle pretty much

broke all of my routines.

Mr Husband had various meetings today and so I made a lunch

he would not want (eggs and him don't mix). 

It was a quiet day over all and while I am a bit tired from

the whole insomnia thing,

I am feeling a bit more of having a shard of hope in 

all of this. 

I hope you do too,

no matter what your Monday has brought.

ps: my brown sugar is now soft thanks to 2 slices of apple! 

I am amazed at how well it worked!
