I feel like I should be doing something. What, I don’t know. Today is the day of the New Moon, and so I smoke-cleansed all my crystals, burned my bay leaf wishes, did my white sage Four Directions energy clearing, and burned the last of my jasmine incense. I woke up late today, so that took up a big chunk of my morning.

We went to IHOP last night and I ordered cinnamon roll pancakes. So I had the leftovers for lunch, with a dab of Nutella. I’m making a pot of black beans for dinner, we’re going to have rice and bean quesadillas. The rice I made yesterday. So it was only supposed to be 69 degrees today, but it’s turning out to be warmer than that, and the sun is out, which depresses me. I come alive on a cloudy day.

I’ve done the majority of my chores, and I’ve painted my nails. I watered the garden. I meditated. I went to the store. I suppose I should go back and get the jasmine incense that I forgot when I went the first time. I didn’t walk around the block today, or jog, as I usually do. It’s that time of the month for me, so I take it easy. Self-care is always important, but for women, menstruation is definitely a time for that.

I have such a mental block today. I have a desire to do something useful, but I don’t know what that is, as I said in the beginning of this blog. I guess just loving my husband and serving him as I would serve Christ, that is all that is required. I don’t mean that I am his slave, but that I do good to him and take care of him as I would the Lord. That’s what it means to serve. This society frowns on the word “Servant,” but we are all called to be a servant to others and to God. It’s about humility, another thing that modern society misinterprets.

I guess that’s what Jesus meant when he said that the world doesn’t know Him. It really doesn’t. Blessed Be and Amen.
