Many people associate mindfulness with many western religions but I am trying to learn it's practice within the framework of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius, a Jesuit practice of prayer, meditation and contemplation.
Since dipping my toe into this pool of new ideas I have started to appreciate more. I have learned to deal with little things that I might have ignored and allowed to begin stewing in me. I think that I like this new way of being in each moment.
I'm heading out to California with my best friend (who is really more like family after all these years) and I can't wait to sit beside the sea and soak it all in while trying to hear the voice of God. I really crave the quiet and working at the office is anything but quiet. This will surely soothe my soul.
Today I say a prayer of thanksgiving for the opportunity for a vacation...even a small one. I am thankful that I am learning new ways of appreciating, living and dealing with the events of my life. I pray for my son, your sons and daughters and the soul of Henry, my grandpa.
