korafox*sits, massaging her ankle*
I do not know what I did to it, but when I got back from catering tonight my ankle started paining me as if I had sprained it...though I know I cannot have done so, since I haven't twisted it. In any case my ankles are very strong and I have never had a sprain that I couldn't walk off in under a minute.
It occurs to me that today, I have not seen any of my friends in person. And I have barely talked with them thru instant message...well, I suppose it is Saturday and everyone's been sleeping in or is off doing something fun and thus unavailable.
It does irk me slightly that I've been quite productive today and yet I've still a mountain of work waiting for me. Well, I'll take solace in those quiet moments I can find for myself. I will be getting up to go to Mass tomorrow, and I look forward to it immensely. I do hope the same priest attends it, as he was wonderful last Sunday. He spoke of greatness lying not in heroic acts, but in everyday, small acts done with great love. It's something which I need to remind myself of more often...I have my head in the clouds so much of the time. And really, I have been trying harder in the past year or so.
Lord forgive me, but my greatest fault is still that I see the path of kindness and grace and turn from it out of pride. I care so much about what others think of me, how they see me...it prompts me to say a mean word, or withhold a kind one. And when I think on some things I've said or done, sometimes I just want to cry for the shame of it. For how I can mistreat others of my own free will.
I confess to almighty God, that I have sinned through my own fault.
In my thoughts, and in my words
In what I have done, and in what I have failed to do
And I ask Blessed Mary, ever virgin,
All the angels and saints,
And you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
No more work tonight, I think. Time for quiet, and rest, and contemplation.
