Last night I went to bed REALLY excited. After I posted, I looked around at links found on some blogs I read, and I found about 4 or 5 women my age who are much like me and are also actively discerning their vocations (on their blogs!). It was super exciting, and I went to bed with sugar plums dancing in my head (or was it thoughts of the New Evangelization??). :) Hoorah for being open and honest about discernment. I love that!
So today work was tough. We'll just leave it at that. It's days like today that make me excited for school to be beginning soon.
I went to the Air Show tonight, and saw the stunt and military planes doing their bit. It was amazing! I was super impressed by the wingwalker who used no ropes or harness or anything, especially when the plane spun and he was standing on the wing of the plane upside down! It was amazing. And then the WWII fighter plane flew alongside a F-15 from nowadays (flown by a pilot who has served 30 missions in Iraq so far), and it was really beautiful. They played a patriotic tune over the loudspeaker, and I could have cried. I guess it's in my blood, as my grandpa was in the Army, my mom's brothers were in the National Guard, Air Force and Marines, and my mom's sister's husband was in the Navy. I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for them...
20 days until I move into Loras!!
And I don't have any theological insights for today, other than I CANNOT SIT STILL. I tried to sit still in the adoration chapel this morning, just for 5 minutes, without thinking about random things or being distracted by noise or movement or what-have-you, and I could not do it. I made it like, 15 seconds. It was ridiculous. I kept trying to refocus myself, but to no avail. Oh, Angela!
Well, I work alllll dayyyy tomorrow, so I must get to bed. However, Monday is St. Dominic's feast day!! Hoorah!
(Always keep your eye on the light at the end of the tunnel...) :)
Caritas et veritas.
