Starting with This Mudcat Morning Jan 15 '09, Catters were invited to post a brief snapshot of your morning-- your MudMorning-- i.e., whatcha doin' while Mudcatting. Particularly, what are your 5+ senses experiencing at day's start? (A new fresh day!)


Mine today started with a great night's sleep (better living thru chemistry), in my OWN BED, back from a wonderful trip (only a week gone, but a month's living packed into it).

<> Hardi snoring in my ears and doggies thumping good-morning-welcome-back tails
<> Snow falling softly
<> HOT tea in my own comfy recliner
<> A week's worth of email and DVR harvest to cull
<> Flavor and sight memories slide-showing thru my appreciative mind savoring new friendships, new leadership ventures, old friendships re-stocked with news, love, and shared goals
<> A sally out into the icy steps and snow (cinders where I'd left them to make the steps safe) to fetch in the snow boots and dirty laundry I'd happily left out in the travel center (van) overnight
<> Good plans to implement from the week's good meeting with the neuro doc and GREAT meeting with internist
<> No noticeable side effects from a meds boost that started last night
<> An olddude laptop half-full of resources to share back home and Inauguration Day reflections to edit and post (and preach at some upcoming meetings)
<> Hockey tonight with my honey (TV) and tix Friday for an ECHL game

I had been musing-- how to make the transition from the mountain-peak experiences of the week back to our frozen mountain of ministries and home chores? But a friend's email this AM took care of that for me:

(St. Theresa's Prayer)

May today there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Happy MudMorning!
