Having a pity party

I have what my childhood doctor would call "the miseries". My nose is stuffy, my chest is tight, and I'm tired. I'm not used to being sick so I'm sorry that I'm so whiney. I love to walk a mile or two with my dog but we sure aren't getting that far these last few days. I'm lucky to get dressed and out of the house. Since I have a dog I have to. Sniff!
Now that that's out of the way--
I'm starting to go to a women's spirituality group at my church. I hope I can make it tonight and keep from sneezing on people or shaking their hands. We are reading The Cup of Life by Joyce Rupp I'm hoping that it will help me to get back into the regular practice of prayer. It's been really difficult to put aside that time each day. My relationship with God needs to be nourished just like my relationship with my friends and family. Why is it that those I love most get the farthest down on my to-do list? Sigh. Each day starts anew and each day is the day for renewal. It's time to begin again and instead of talking about praying and loving it's time to pray and to love.
