Sunday Musings

Feb 22, 2026

I don’t know what fog I’m in, but it’s definitely affecting me today. We’re having a windy day (25 mph+), so maybe it’s the gusts that make me feel like I’m being pushed all over the place. Or perhaps it’s the pressure coming down from that N’easter blizzard happening up north. Whatever it is, my mind keeps wandering, and I just want to sit, look out the window, and do nothing. Nothing—not read, write, sleep, pray, watch TV, or talk. But you know that’s not me!

So, what do I do with these feelings when they come over me? I gave in to them for a little while, then I got a big glass of water and sat at my desk to write. I made a commitment and want to see it through. I decided that once I’m done, I can sit again and rest my mind, body, and soul. Maybe take a book with me and try to read.

What do you do?

Today is the anniversary of my dad’s death - fifteen years ago. Wow, it’s been that long ago. I miss him greatly. He was a great guy from whom I learned a lot. It’s crazy how fast time flies by. That’s us probably 40 something years ago. My, we were young!

The first week of Lent is over. I’m finding the readings in Divine Intimacy a little more intense. But that’s a challenge I welcome because it makes me read the meditation multiple times to hear the message. There’s always something good to hear when I take my time with them.

Postings this week were on Corporal Mortification, With Jesus Crucified, Ash Wednesday, Death, The Proof of Love, The Spirit of Mortification, The Great Combat, and today’s on Conversion. Rather than linking them all individually, here’s a link to the page – you can click there on whatever ones you want to read.

Thanks for your support. Hoping to hear from you!
