A Long, Restful Day

I didn’t sleep very well last night.  It always happens the first night somewhere else.  Additionally, I’m a light sleeper and the thunderstorms kept me up as they came and went.

When I finally got out of bed at 6:45 a.m., it was still dark and rainy.  It was dark for most of the morning.  But then, in the afternoon, boom:

Lights on, ground dried, skies beautiful blue, and all was right with the world.  🙂

Fr. Brian and I went out to Jasper for dinner.  We ate at the Schnitzelbank.  It’s a great restaurant.  We go to it every year that we are here at least one evening.

It’s been a groggy kind of day filled with rest, reading, and even a nap.  Tonight, I’m tired and plan on going to bed early so that I can make it awake to the Mass at 7:30 a.m.

Praying for all my parishioners, friends, and the world while on retreat.  I hope my prayers help you.
