to do list on a day off

It is 6:15 am and I never make this kind of list...

• finish the epic stained glass project while listening to Victoria Williams
• research the evolution of color vision while having a cup of coffee
• make the seed order already
• add 5 new photos to Flickr
• e-mail the garden bloggers who I friended in my last post
• pack up a stained glass... over at ETSY a person chose one of my pieces of the haystack and I did let myself feel pleased about that.
• return to doing the daily examen already and not beat myself up for falling away from it.
• plan out some meals and get the food to make them
• clean up the kitchen so I can make one of those meals
• exercise
• make up a bag of under utilized warm clothing to donate to the Purple Heart folk
• research plate tectonics
• take a nap
• hang out with Mosaic Woman

OK, 60 hours later and I look at the list. Most were completed or partially completed. I didn't plan on having to shovel snow (truly not in the forecast). I didn't expect a friend to call and say "can you send me a description of a gardening workshop, I want to take it to a meeting tonight" (will say more at a later date).

But... I didn't take a nap. I didn't do an examen.

However, last night I sat down with intent to be with God. As is typical, I felt glad that I said hello. It had been a long time.

Obama wants to know what we can do to help this country. Last night I prayed and asked God what I could do for his creation.

and yes, the epic project is done, except for hooks. I still have not seen it with sunshine pouring through. short days, I am so glad they are lengthening. Thus I have no photos, and they won't be shown here until Giggles sees it and I refuse to deliver it at night. Sunday?
