Saint for 2021. As I have for most of the last decade, I clicked on Jennifer Fulwiler’s Saint’s Name Generator to get my saint for next year. (Last year was St. Issac Jogues.) The saint chosen for me was…
St. Rose of Lima
Feast:August 23
Patronage: Against Vanity; Embroiderers; Florists; Gardeners; Needle Workers; People Ridiculed for Their Piety
Word for 2021. I also did Jen’s “Word of the Year” Generator, and the word chosen for this year is…
COMFORT
Given that my word for 2020 was “build” and I ended up building a lot of web things for my parish and for my job, I am a bit nervous to see why “comfort” was chosen for me.
Daniel update. We’ve been home from Seattle Children’s for over two weeks now, and kiddo is eating like a horse. His formula for his tube feeds got changed to a lower calorie formulation, and we are hoping that it is less constipating for him. He has been sleeping in until 8:30 or 9 this week, which is making his mama happy.
Bullet journal. I may or may not have glued the spare pages of my second bullet journal for 2020 together before writing “adios 2020!” on the last page.
The new 2021 bullet journal is this one from Archer and Olive.
Thomas Lauer. Please keep Thomas Lauer, on of Katherine at Gloria in Excelsis Deo in prayer as he is still having complications while recovering from cancer surgery in November. Tonight’s fun was having drains placed in Interventional Radiology. Please pray for pain relief for this sweet boy.
Please also lift up some prayers for Katherine as she stays with him and advocates for him.
Beast of the Year. Kelly, our Quick Takes hostess with the mostest, has introduced the Beast of the Year generator so you can pick your beast of the year as she does. I got…
Sasquatch
I think it’s fitting, given that I live in the Pacific Northwest.
Resolutions. I think I’m going to try my 2020 resolutions again and clean up my diet as well as try to get up early to pray.
For more Quick Takes, visit Kelly at This Ain’t The Lyceum.
Yay! So excited you picked a beast! May the mighty Sasquatch take you boldly into the new year with little photographic evidence. Also wanted to share this formula as it’s what we switched Fulton to and it helped IMMENSELY with constipation. https://www.nestlenutritionstore.com/compleat-organic-blends.html
