Old and New

Today I worked out at the new Y up on 57th. I picked up some meat at Eggers, something I used to do each week. We are having group at our house tomorrow night. I met w/ friends, something I also used to do a lot more of. Life is moving on and things are changing. Just like that, life is dramatically different.

For all of us. One friend still has a teenager; the rest of us don't. I am glad I worked out. I feel like I'm getting a little stronger each week. Jay and I are doing a little better. We are working through some of the traumas at work. I am recognizing my weaknesses and contributions to our messes, primarily an unwillingness to face any pain at work. It's very very hard for me to be tough or draw a line. I then promise more than we can deliver and get us all into bad situations.

I didn't do centering prayer this morning, and so far Lent hasn't been super impactful this season.
