Ah….my coffee is done. Time to get ready for work. And the brain never stops running………………………………………………………………………..
Addendum: sometimes it is easy to get off balance, to lose your stride. After mass today, I got a good second wind. Fr. Gillespie’s homily helped. I am glad I felt so down and so weak that I was compelled to go to mass. Ah, the mystery of it all.
