Vacant mind
Things are kinda going my way. But really what is my way? Ya'll might have a different perspective of what that is then I do. So to sum it up, I have a free day and night Saturday. Going to the coast for sure, possibly Lincoln City, not sure. What bites about all this is that I cannot find a place to stay. I am just going to pack my stuff up and leave, if I find a place to stay the I will stay. If not I will drive home late. Sounds easy to me. Seriously I cant wait, I mean my mind cannot wait. My body is just here to deliver the message....
On another note I read this magazine today that a co-worker lent me. It was full of amateur writings and photography. I managed to read the entire thing inbetween calls before 10:30. Amazing! She subscribes to it and said she would bring some of the previous issues in for me. I love finding new interests. Not that I don't read, actually I read a lot, just haven't had my hands on this before.
Life seems to be settling down for me lately. I've been making a conscious effort to return to where I want to be. Now if I could get some sleep, I would have a pretty well rounded life....I think.
Thanks Liisa for that great talk we had the other day. I appreciate you reminding me of who I am now and what is at stake....ME.
Also a special thanks to you Staci for the supportive posts and e-mails, your wealth of knowledge touches me deeply.
~Cheers, Julie

I hope you have a wonderful time this weekend just being free to do what occurs to you, free to focus on yourself. I'm excited to see if having time for yourself will bring you any clarity, but in many ways, this decision to seek respite is in itself a form of clarity.
When I was in college, I went on a silent retreat (led by Jesuits) that was pretty life-changing. Having quiet space for your thoughts is an absolute necessity, and something few of us rarely allow ourselves. So I'm going to share for you a couple of my favorite items of reflection from my retreat, all written by Jesuit Anthony de Mello:
Behold God beholding you... and smiling.
Both what you run away from - and yearn for - is within you.
Peace is only found in yes.
Extend your arms in welcome to the future. The best is yet to come!
