As I rush to have a cup of coffee with Jesus, I am thinking about rituals.  I’m usually awake by 3:30 AM, showered, get my coffee, do my meditations, and then write my reflection.  Today I didn’t wake up till six, got on a zoom Bible study at 6:30, and started working out in the gym at 7:30.  I got a call from someone asking me if I was OK and I realized I had forgotten to do my post!

It wasn’t exactly that I forgot, it’s just that I threw myself off by not waking up early. So I’m taking a little break to write my reflection.  Every day does not always go as you plan.  When you get thrown off your routine, it is OK.  I’m going to go back to my workout and when I’m done, I will read my reflections and get myself ready for the day!  I like routine.  I don’t like to be late, but I also know that life does not always happen the way we plan.

So, today I am going to be OK that I am out of sync.  I’m not going to let it ruin my whole day; I am going to enjoy the fact that I can bring myself back to balance.

Buon Giorno, I’m glad you are ok, I didn’t think the worse (initially my gut was, is he ok?), I honestly thought you were taking a day to rejuvenate and reflect. Great attitude, life does not go as we plan, we must be flexible and take it in stride and as you stated, do not let it ruin your day. Great lesson for all of us. It is on my goal to be flexible and just roll with it, it’s a work in progress, as my OCD planning gets all worked up when my routine is altered. I’m glad you are ok! Have a great day, let’s roll when we fall out of our routines. Blessings Monsignor

I don’t like when that happens to me, and God bless you for waking up so early. You obviously needed the rest and God knew it. May your well rested self enjoy the many blessings God has for you today😚
