The Blessings of a Slow Day

Woke up this morning, and I knew it was going to be a slow day. I had slept for a solid eight hours, and yet my body was still refusing to get out of bed.  That’s always a sign. A “slow day” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be a “bad day”. I just won’t be following my original schedule. That’s all. It’s not bad, just different.

Journal Writing as Spiritual Exercise

A lot of my friends journal as a way to process their internal stress.  However, even though we all use the same word “journal”, the actual methods could not be more different.  One person is very formal in her approach.  She records a specific event in detail, and saves it on her computer.  Another friend hand writes in her notebook, and lists the rational arguments about her decision making.
