I accomplished my first 5k this year - came in last, but hey, I finished! working on improving my time a little at a time. One day, maybe a triathlon! Look forward to hearing your progress. I mean, how many nuns out there are doing triathlons! That could make big news! I am excited for you getting prepared for a triathlon!

Martha ... My prayers are with you that solitude will find you every now and then. Solitude can be a wonderful gift, terrifying to some, but heaven to others! RhC ... Well, the lottery is one of those dreams that is a little out of our control! :) But it's worth putting out there, eh?! Congrats on your education. What a wonderful feeling, especially to excel at something that earlier you had not. That's one thing I love about doing this triathlon is that I couldn't swim before January 2007. Float to save my life? Yes. Swim on my own for more that a few yards? Not so much. It pleases me greatly to have gone beyond what I could do. Love your description of your dreams for traveling to Great Britain. I was there for a couple weeks and your comment reminded me of some of the wonderful sights and smells and sounds! Melissa ... It is so nice to feel the joy in your writing. It's a good feeling to be able to work toward your dreams (however much time and work it might take) and see it come to fruition! Ex Candidate ... Hang in there, girl. Take some time to rest in your relationship with God. Put the religious life question (and any other major non-emergency life questions) on hold and just spend some time with God. Allow yourself to be embraced by God. "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10) As important as the religious life question is, what is so much more important is your relationship with God and finding that place within yourself where you felt so alive and filled with the Spirit. That is the place out of which you want to then relook at the question of religious life, the question of <i>your</i> life. Please know that I am praying with you as are many who visit this blog. Feel free to email me anytime if you'd like. Cathy ... that is so awesome! So glad to hear that you saw what you wanted and got there. But, as implied in your comment, once we "get there" it is only the beginning! Then you've got to take the gift you received and make it a gift to others. Keep on going! Ann ... Congrats on learning the ways of the computer and blogging to boot! That is truly a great accomplishment and it is also a gift to others who can now experience your gift of poetry. Thank you for all the wonderful words of encouagement and reflection.

Like others have said I admire your spirit and wish you every success. My dream come true is my blog. I'm not computer literate, have no third level qualifications, write poetry but was frustrated at the lack of outlet. Then I discovered blogging in which I can share what I write and do what I want to do which is praise God and bear witness to my faith in a creative and positive way by using the gift He has given me. When I started I had to call on my children every time I wanted to post something new but slowly I learnt to do things for myself and of course I'm still learning. Thanks for your sharing, and God bless and the luck of the Irish to you on the big day! Sister Julie, Good for you! Like others have said I admire your spirit and wish you every success.
