Today

Been too much going on to really post. Kind of overwhelming.

I'll start small.

Tonight we're watching 'Postcards From the Edge'. I never have seen it, it's kind of entertaining.

I'm glad it's the weekend.

The dogs are good.

I hope it stops raining soon.

Last meeting with Sr.Kathy

Today I met with my spiritual director for the last time. She is moving back to her community to take a position she was called to. The sadness of the occasion didn't me until the very end (as is normal for my normal male, brutish self).She started to tear up when talking about moving back to her community. My heart fell. I am so caught up in myself. Although I had given some thought to the fact she was making a big transition, her problems and transition had not really entered my thoughts. I can be so selfish.

As we hugged in her office, she made the sign of the cross on my forehead and said something to the effect of, you are blessed, I will miss you Jason. I wanted to cry so bad.

I will miss you too Sister Kathy, I will miss you so much. More than for the wonderful guidance and insight you've given me, I will miss you for your kind face, your infectious laugh and your wonderful spirit. But even more so, you have been present on such an important part of my spiritual journey.

God speed.
