“....Oof!….”
–me, at 5:57 this morning

Beloveds,

I am finding it difficult to find words today to express how I feel. 

I thought yesterday, as I fed myself mac & cheese for breakfast, that I needed a little comfort food. This morning was, ummm, less ideal. I don’t know how the potato chips and french onion dip got into the house; must have been brought home from some office thing by my partner. But they seemed like the best, easiest option at the time. (Don’t worry: I had a beautiful salad for dinner last night, and I will surely find things later today to balance this morning’s need for creamy, crunchy bites.)

How are you today? No matter how you find yourself feeling–or not feeling–I hope you will make an effort to be kind to yourself and to those around you. There was lots of work to be done last week, and there will be plenty to be done in the weeks to come. We have each other, and we know who we are and the values that guide our work. 

Yours in hope, persistence, and love, 
Rev. Denise

P.S. I will see you on Sunday, but I am curious: Would any of you appreciate a chance to gather at church in the next few days? Or would you like to talk to me one-on-one? Email me if either sounds helpful.
