If our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, but we are taught to disconnect from our body and not listen to it because it’s evil, how are we supposed to “hear” the Holy Spirit?

Today it is really hard to find a good moment.

I’m still looking though.

And that, my friends, is the POINT.

I have a growing need to weep - for many things, I am sure.

But the feeling drives me fearfully into action. I *can’t* weep; there’s no *time*, and anyway, what do you have to cry about?

Watching swells approach the Oregon coast and interact with sea stacks/rocks just before sunrise is a very mentally safe place.

Sad, poopy girl who gets no snacks until the diahrreah clears up. (Within reason, OBVS.)

My commitment to do internship and these last two terms well by caring for my humanity is being TESTED. Food poisoning Fri/sat. Emily had terrible diarrhea through the night, AS DO I (probably the food poisoning working itself out). So I’m trying to be gentle but also HOURS?! How?! HOMEWORK?! AUGH!

BOO.

Started the weekend (Friday night) with me throwing up violently from food poisoning, and we are ending the weekend with Emily Bear having terrible diarrhea.

My. Tummy. Hurts. (It’s the anxiety.)

Internship week 1 has been chaotic, unexpected, but also exciting and hopeful. I’m getting ready to sit in as co-counselor on the group parenting class. WHOO!

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Good afternoon!

I feel hungry, but I’m working on homework. If I switch tasks, I’M DOOMED.
