Today’s best quote (and it is only 7:17 a.m.) comes from a book review of Kathleen Norris’ newest book Acedia & Me
In the end her remedies for acedia are simple:
Go for a walk.
Memorize Scripture.
Sing Psalms.
Seek community.
Worship.
Shovel manure.
Dust a bookshelf.
Wash dishes.
Study.
Read.
Write.
And be kind to one another.

*Bored* is a catchword for me; as is *tired*. I feel like those two words are overused and have encouraged my children to try and think of a different adjective which might better describe the situation or feelings.*Lethargic*, on the other hand is more meaningful, especially in a medical sense.Hope you’re having a good Tuesday…we’re getting a lot of rain….from a down-graded hurricane (fay)
Thanks for this post–I needed it! Coming up on finishing this quarter at school, this is what I have to fight against during my break. Isn’t it interesting that when given the opportunity to DO SOMETHING, instead we sit !? I have big plans to clean up around my place, too. I will copy this quote and put it up on my bathroom mirror, I think.
