Waiting for AF

It's p+12, the last day of prog, and usually the day AF shows up.

But I'm trying to keep it all in the background (although sorta unsuccessfully.) I'm going to enjoy the beautiful day, walking through an open house for my in-laws and eat a dinner I don't have to make.

Little Way

“Unfortunately when I have compared myself with the saints, I have always found that there is the same difference between the saints and me as there is between a mountain whose summit is lost in the clouds and a humble grain of sand trodden underfoot by passersby.

Instead of being discouraged, I told myself: God would not make me wish for something impossible and so, in spite of my littleness, I can aim at being a saint. It is impossible for me to grow bigger, so I put up with myself as I am, with all my countless faults. But I will look for some means of going to heaven by a little way which is very short and very straight, a little way that is quite new[...]

It is your arms, Jesus, which are the lift to carry me to heaven, And so there is no need for me to grow up. In fact, just the opposite: I must stay little and become less and less.”

–St. Thérèse of Lisieux, The Story of a Soul.
