Moleskine: from Johannes Tauler (1301-1361): “At the age of forty, a man is in possession of peace, he has attained a godly life, and has more or less overcome nature; another ten years will have to go by till he reaches his fiftieth year. Now he may receive the Holy Spirt in the loftiest and most sublime manner, that Holy Spirit Who will teach him all truth. If the soul has reached this point, it will turn into itself to sink down and be immersed and melted into the pure, divine, simple, and innermost core, where the sublime spark of the soul flows back to do the source from which it sprang. Wherever this return is freely accomplished, all guilt is wiped away, even if it were the accumulated guilt of mankind since the beginning of the world. From this source of grace and all bliss flow into man’s soul. Now he has become divinized, a pillar supporting the whole world and the Holy Church.”

I’m not religious, I’m a mess. That’s why I pray to Jesus.
When I die, I expect my life will flash before my eyes, or else I’ll get to go over it with Jesus. I think he will feel love when I love the person in front of me, so that’s my goal for life.

The Thang:
https://hoover.archives.gov/hoovers/history-hoover-ball extended rallies w/o score tracking, mixed w/ periodic bootcamp style exercises. PAX formed 2 two-man teams & tossed a 7lb leather medicine ball over a regulation height volleyball net. PAX must catch the ball w/o the ball touching the ground and immediately return the ball on the fly. After ~7-8 minutes, PAX would mosey over to the track & do various bootcamp-style exercises “spittoon” style. Once completed, PAX resumed playing HooverBall until it was time for the next round of bootcamp-style exercises. Exercises were as follows:
Round 1: 80 Burpees & 200 LBCs.
HooverBall
Round 2: 200 Lunges (1 is 1) & 200 Flutter Kicks (4 is 1)
HooverBall
Round 3: 100 Bobby Hurleys & 200 Merkins
HooverBall
Round 4: 200 Plank Jacks & 200 Squats
Moleskine:
Advanced preparation and/or contingency planning can be a great antidote for anxiety. If you struggle to do it yourself, at least surround yourself with people who don’t & then be willing to just follow their lead.
Prayers lifted up included wisdom for doctors & grace for families going through challenging medical circumstances, including the Ms for both Cookies & Gummy Bear.
Ended with a moment of quiet contemplation & recitation of the Serenity Prayer.
