Too Much Is Never Enough

My Husband to our thoughtful caring local priest:

"With Elizabeth, too much is never enough"

...."She bought 49 pounds of candles

and had three times as much blessed here than church candles."

I knew I would, if I could I would get all 49 pounds blessed.

(I give some away of course, you realize).

But yes, I buy a lot of candles and as the years go by,

the more I want blessed.

After this past year, 

I don't know how the whole world does not just up and decide

"we need all the help we can get, 

let's ALL go to church and get blessed"

And burn blessed prayed for candles every day of the year.

Well.

So yesterday I got in the mail this incredible book.

Remember a while back when I told you to go read an encouraging article

by Sean of the South? 

(Well did you?!?)

Well, I read his book,

Will the Circle Be Unbroken?: A Memoir of Learning to Believe You're Gonna Be Okay.

and I was reading it late last night and did not even remember

to come here on my blog to say hello.

sorry about that :) 

***

I've finished the book,

fully recommend and I am working on my review

of the book now.  I have the first draft of it 

already written and hope to share it with you all this week.

So, we are expecting another 4 to 8 inches of snow tomorrow.

So while we made it to vespers, 

we won't know about liturgy until later. 

***

We blessed candles tonight because we missed liturgy this

past Tuesday locally when you would bless candles.

And with liturgy being unsure tomorrow,

we did it tonight.

And boy, I do feel blessed.

Today had a lot of joy in it.

A walk in sunshine with my Husband.

Pizza for lunch.

We split three chocolate caramels, trying to guess at the 

flavours.  I had lots of tea.

Did laundry.  Vespers.  Takeout for dinner.

Talked to my Mom while doing laundry, 

including a 2000 foot mountain of it on our bed. :)

Whew, that was a lot of clean laundry! :)

Finished Sean's book.

It's a give-you-hope-when-life-includes-(great)-suffering book.

A Can-I-just-subsist-on-cereal-until-I-finish-the-book, book.

A you may want to buy this book now, book.

As I said, review DV, this week.

But now it is time for bed.

Be blessed my people, be blessed.
