Freedom!!!! I predict it will happen at 1136 am tomorrow. Not that I am great at predictions, they are usually wrong. but I figure after I get out of my garb from church and head out the door then it is holiday time. Am I excited??? Nooooooooo. Only a teensy bit! HA!
Tomorrow is a bittersweet day again. It will be the last time for almost a year that I will not be worshiping with my home parish here. I am preaching tomorrow and have not said anything about leaving on internship – I think for my self preservation I shouldn’t – I am a mushface after all.
Peace to y’all who read this. I am leaving for some well deserved R&R for almost three weeks.

It has finally arrived. The final day of CPE!!! I am so glad it is here but I am ready to have a break. I think I have said this before – perhaps a few times, eh? I know, I know, its been my mantra lately! What an amazing journey this has been. I have grown so much over the past 11 weeks – I am in a completely different space today than I was when CPE began. No doubt part of it is due to just being home and getting reacquainted with the man I love and leaving the stress of seminary behind. I have met three wonderful people who have made the CPE journey a positive experience, my two peers and my supervisor. So today is bittersweet because I need to say goodbye to some patients who have welcomed me into their journey of healing and dying. I also need to say farewell to some of the staff who have been instrumental on this journey. Then it’s on with life! I can’t wait for the rest of the journey.

I don’t get it. Actually I am very frustrated by it. Maybe someone out there is cyberspace can help me with this – I have been trying to add to my list of blogs I like to visit. It will not let me add Kristen Steele’s Canadian Lutheran Chick blog. I dont’ get it…Anyone else have trouble with that. I looked on a couple of the other blogs I visit and they have it so WHY WHY WHY won’t it go on mine….help.
