Moving more and more back into the "real" world, as my recovery from the biopsy and viral infusion become more past history.   I feel like my-old-self to some degree, but more bewildered; where do I go from here?   I am reading St. Therese's Autobiography once more - skipping around in the book.   I envy and admire her simplicity and joy; she reports, on the pages that I have read recently, about how God works through the everyday life of the convent and how He love and forgives her.   She has a freshness and a childlike joy in everything she does.   I tend towards pondering and overthinking, such as my concern about what I should be doing now with my life.  I want Therese's clarity and seeing God in all her actions.

It seems I have to embrace my situation - for now, becoming healthier but wondering what lies beyond -- and assume that God values my life "as is."   I am supposed to be a science/tech educator, as well as a mother and wife.   I have an opportunity with HACS to assemble short courses and I need to stay devoted to that, and focused on that.   Or, so I think.   Jesus, would you please let me know when that is not pleasing to you?

We are working through the funeral arrangements for Darren's Dad.   I need to keep him and the O'Connor family in my deepest prayers.  They need to see you as their Lord and Savior.
