It's not even 10pm and I'm beat! If you tried to visit my blog today, blogger decided my blog and apparently my blog only needed to take a break. Not sure what that was about but posting my last post seems to have fixed it. Weird. Maybe my blog was tired too?
Among many other activities today, Chero (the other almost Novice from the west) and I met with our formation director today to finalize plans for our Reception Ceremony on August 26th. That's when we are formally accepted as Novices! We'll get our Peace Crosses (the symbol of our community), our own copies of our groovy constitutions, and the honor of adding Sister to the front and CSJP to the end of our names. If cleaning out my cubicle this week didn't make the big changes ahead for me sink in, this certainly made it all the more real!!
Tonight was a small bridge party at my weekend groovy pad, where I tried (again) to master the rules of bridge which are many and varied. My team won, but there was much coaching going on!
Tomorrow I'm headed across Lake Washington to Groovy Sister HQ for a discernment meeting about what justice areas should be the focus for the province. I'm looking forward to participating in that discussion with a great group!
But for now, time to hit the sack. Hopefully my blog has had enough of a rest and will stay up for a while!

Dear Susan,
A blogging nun who listens to Belle and Sebastian...you are incredible and finding you online was certainly one of those little notes God uses to remind me I'm not as strange of a Catholic as I think I might be. I look forward to reading more about your journey (and your back posts, as I must get some sleep tonight)
Peace and love,

Susan, good that you are back. I mean your blog.:-).I was worried that you had the same problem with the template that I had few days ago ( a part of the template got erased i-do-not-know-why).:-)
Paula, Thanks. I have no idea what the problem was but the blog version of turning off & on (adding a new post) seemed to fix it. Weird.
Courtney - so glad you found me! And you're a neighbor too! All Catholics are a little strange, for the simple reason that all Catholics are people and all people are a little strange. But I know from experience it's awfully nice to have some company on the journey. Peace and welcome to you.
And for the record, I'm a blogging almost nun who listens to B&S. I've still got a whole month and 18 days to adjust to the reality that I'm going to be a bloggin nun for real. Sister Susan still has a somewhat surreal feeling to it!!
It's an awe-filling experience as you begin you see your involvement in things that shape community! Enjoy the discernment on justice priorities...
