Resurfacing

I had a great mini-retreat. Have been back at work this week, working on the last issue of our quarterly justice journal for the year. Other assorted odds and ends as well, including oodles of homework, happy hour with a friend last night and acupuncture tonight for a persistent eye twitch. The eye twitch has a tendency to appear when I've got too many balls in the air that I'm trying to juggle. Looking at my to-do list, that would accurately describe my life at this particular moment! Ministry, community, and school ... oh my! But there is a light at the end of the tunnel otherwise known as beginning of summer, which here in the rainy Pacific Northwest is firmly calendered well into June!

So much to write and reflect upon, especially given our current state of world affairs. Hopefully I'll have time for that in the very near future. In the meantime, I give you a silly eye related blog quiz in honor of the eye twitch that I hope has gone away for a good long while. (My eyes, by the way, are in fact brown).

Your Eyes Should Be Brown

Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom People find you to be: Loyal, honest, and comforting Your best trait: You are comfortable with who you are, and you don't pretend to be someone you're not What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart

What Color Should Your Eyes Be?

You Are Emotionally Stressed

You may not have a lot of stress in your life, but you're more sensitive than most people. You get stressed out easily, and it's hard to get rid of your worries. Of all the types, you are the most likely to get physically sick from stress. Consider taking up yoga, walking, or meditation. While the stress you have isn't all in your head, it can be managed.

What Kind of Stressed Are You?

As this silly blog quiz indicates, I've been a little stressed of late. My Dad is going through some potentially life altering medical issues, and I'm 3,000 miles away. I have a trip planned in a few weeks and my brother is there, but it's hard being so far away and unable to do much other than pray and worry (and pray and worry some more).

There's also just the regular busyness of my life at the moment. The end result is a little bit of stress, which in fact has had me feeling a little out of sorts and not in a particularly bloggy mood. I'm working on self care and have great support systems, which is good. But blogging will probably be light in the next few days, unless I'm flooded with a flash of inspiration.

Peace
