"The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live." ~ Elbert Hubbard
I LOVE summer! I am still working but there is a different pace to everything. Summer is the time I can live my life fully. Tomorrow I head out with a friend to the folk fest for the day. Sunday I have a late graduation ceremony in the country for a couple of students on my case load. Then next week I work with a few things going on in the evenings such as a pedicure and a gelati night.
You know, my life is pretty darn good, I have realized recently. Despite all my whining and complaining about certain things...things that my friends get tired of hearing...I am content. The one exciting thing about summer for me is that I take time to reflect on how life is going. I am looking forward to being on retreat again this summer, this time in silence for eight days and with a director. That should be a time to find my bearings and await the gift that God always gives. The photo is from summer retreat house just outside of Montreal where I received many good insights that have continued to sustain me.
How do you take stock of what is going on in your life to know that you are really living?
Peace,
Suzanne
