Katy’s Weblog
I was too ambitious. I stacked a lot of meetings today. Forgot to go to one of them. Postponed the last one.
Today was promotion Sunday, so lots of questions of where kids go, one child with special needs had a melt-down.
While these situations may or may not demand my personal attention, I feel responsible for all of them. So I felt distracted and forget things.
Yesterday’s children’s outreach:
Good: Pioneering a children’s event at Ybarra instead of at church
Not so good: The AC wasn’t working until after lunch. Even I, who barely sweat in Taiwan humidity, was getting moist.
Good: No one complained. And when the AC finally came on, we really appreciated it.
I had lunch with someone who will be going to college. I’ve known her since 5th grade and I wanted to have an “adult” meet up before she starts school. Seeing her excitement for what’s ahead made me appreciate my own journey through the years of college.
I am thankful for the priority our staff puts on personal spiritual life. On the 5th Tuesday of the month we are told to take a spiritual retreat day.
I spent half my day at home reading and half my day at my favorite retreat place – Mariners church in Irvine. There is hardly anyone there on a weekday, but a few people to keep it from feeling deserted.
