Shameless Self Promotion

I have a new blog.

Aside from this one,

and my Karumi Garden Haiku blog,

I also have

Falling Plum poetry blog,

which is a place to park my non-haiku poetry.

I would welcome any visitors.

Thanks!

Latin!!

I have heard through the grapevine that Mount Saint Mary's will host a priestly ordination in LATIN!!! I'm so excited!! This excitement, however, is not shared by my dh, or even by the priest at our parish. *Sigh*. I don't know how many will be ordained, but I do know that one will be Brother Robert, who serves at our parish as well as our "mother" parish in a nearby town.

I'm definitely going, for the historical value if nothing else. I don't have a conscious memory of the Mass in Latin. My dad used to tell a story of taking me to Mass when I was a baby. He sat in the back and realized, too late, that the speaker was right over our heads. The priest, apparently, had a booming voice, and my dad was sure I would cry, but I didn't.

So, having no memory of the Mass in Latin (I actually learned whatever sacred Latin I know from my [secular] college choir), I am looking forward to seeing an ordination in Latin!!

Sleeping With Bread

Today is Labor Day. I am thankful for my job. It is perfect for me. Just enough sameness to feel safe. Just enough difference to keep me interested. It is on a beautiful campus with interesting people.

I am also thankful for my husband's job. While quite a drive from our house, it is in a field that he has always been interested and he is learning a great deal about himself as he grows on the job. He has an incredible work ethic, for which I am very grateful.

I am thankful to live in a free country where we have opportunity to grow and share our talents and resources with each other.
