Where I found the following quote, I do not know, but I quite like it:
"Life is not a race, do take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over."
I guess it does speak to me because I am one of those type A personalities. I am usually rushing, trying to see how MUCH MORE I can accomplish....lots of doing and having a variety of activities going at one time. So slowing down is a good Lenten action for me.
Talking about Lent....remember it is LENT, not GIVEN....an opportunity LENT to us for transformation...........
I wish you time. I wish you transformation.....and enjoy the sun!

Assembly
We all..from the US and the Caribbean...gathered in Oshkosh this last week for an Assembly....100+. It was wonderful seeing all the sisters and Associates and postulants and novices....what a home-coming!
We had a great time beyond the business. Our prayer times were often, our "eating" was constant, unfortunately....lots of sugar to keep us awake, I guess! I was responsible for our opening prayer. We kept is short but meaningful.
One really exciting part was the sharing of our ministries. Some sisters shared via brief presentations with/without power-point/slides. Most of us shared via posters which were set up throughout the halls. Those halls were booming with "lookers"! I was even excited to find MY poster!
We closed with a beautiful liturgy where Sister Helen, our Provincial, "sent" us to our ministries. We then enjoyed a festive dinner and said AMEN...God be with you til we meet again.
Many sisters remained for a few days. Some, like me, left after the dinner as I had a class to teach this morning. Many were leaving this morning.
COMMUNITY! Has its ups and downs...this was a really HIGH UP!
I am grateful for the MANY who gave so much of their time and talent to have us enjoy our days immensely.
May the good Lord bless them richly.
