The thoughts of an odd duck who sits alone in a night cafe, with a stylo in his right, a journal in his left, a valise under his chaise, a tasse on the table, and plenty of time to pass.
This past week has been incredible and I just realized that this blog is dying fast.
My birthday was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Almost as good as the day I was born. It was seriously the best birthday ever! I had an intimate Applebee's dinner with friends on Thursday. My first official legal drink? A long island.. it was alright. On Friday, there was a surprise party for me with many of my closest friends there... how amazing. I still can't get over these blessings. Then on Saturday, I did some wine tasting in Napa and Sonoma... what a gorgeous land. Then on Sunday, I started the Busy Person's Retreat... a spiritually enriching experience... I talked to Deacon Clark and Fr. Brian about vocations and it seems like the calling to become a priest is really strong right now... but so is the inner desire to get married to that special someone one day. I don't know where that calling is... you know.. it's really frustrating but also really exciting at the same time. I look forward to the day when I realize the calling. There's a lot of discerning ahead of me and I'm open to the possibilities.
