WELL! Not too popular… this 5 day series (encouraged by Ed\u00a0Cyzewski<\/a>)\u00a0didn’t get much (any?) participation of the contribution variety. Did it help anyone?<\/span><\/p>\n

I. have. no. idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

(but I hope so)<\/p>\n

Would you still like a Mini Retreat today?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If so, try this:<\/p>\n

Prepare<\/em> yourself to take a short rejuvenating break to refreshen\u00a0your day and your spirit. So, please eliminate potential distractions nearby. (Silence your phone, computer, shut your door, etc.) Now take a few deep breaths…in and out…just like a weird belly button<\/a>. When you are fairly relaxed move to #1, just below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. On paper, or your computer, list the top ten blessings in your<\/span> life.<\/p>\n

2. Write the bullet points version of WHY they are blessings to you.<\/p>\n

3. What do you come up with? Any patterns emerge?<\/p>\n

4. Now, pray with those, and let your heart be full of thankfulness and gratitude.<\/p>\n

5. End your time whistling, singing, playing the spoons, skipping, or something like that. Lighten up today. You need a break.<\/p>\n

Bonus point.
\n<\/strong><\/em>Now that you’ve come to the end of this series, share something with the rest of us.<\/p>\n

Thank you, everyone.<\/p>\n
