An amazing day. An amazing week.
January's ice box has moved into St. Paul today. Yet, the sun shines. Nary a cloud in the sky. Cold hard facts. I am warming to perfection.
Monday's moments?
Personal training. New swimming equipment identified. Noodles. Paddles. New exercises. A stronger right hand perhaps? Volunteering. Research. Pay dirt. Struck gold. Hit the jackpot.
Tuesday's treasures?
Catholic Church reform. A new council. The first of its kind. Supporting researcher. A witness to history that has yet to be made. An invitation--a special invitation. Do you want to share your story as part of a retreat on transition? Amazing.
Wednesday's wonders?
Twenty-one Council members. Twenty-one life stories. Twenty-one crafters of a more democratic Catholic Church. Wonder-filled. Awe-inspiring.
Thursday's triumph? The noodle--the white noodle. A hand clenched for a lifetime. Through no fault of her own, my hand clenched tightly nonetheless. Past efforts to open my clenched hand met with unwilling resistance from a stubborn soul. There was just no possibility of an Open Hand--Outstretched Fingers, a Strong Wrist with a Firm Grip.
An Open Hand. Outstretching Fingers. A Strengthening Wrist. A Firming Grip.
Amazing. Wonder-filled. Awe-inspiring. Simple to some. Amazing to me.
