Well, I did make time for a short quiet time in the morning – and it was simply great. I had planned to begin with Proverbs, start with a gospel and then end with the Psalms.  But began with Isaiah, and then a chapter of Proverbs. I will follow some kind of plan in my Bible reading but today being the first day after many, I guess I had some leeway

Being Still is so difficult and its easier said than done. Try sitting quietly for a few minutes, not thinking about anything, and hundreds of thoughts will assault your mind. Which is what happened to me.

My mind is not used to being still. Far from it. As my wife says, I always have something on my mind. Always thinking, planning, worrying. Always unstill, if there is such a word.

But the stillness will come from practice. I would probably need to do this more than once a day in order to train my mind. The more I try, the faster I’ll be able to reach real stillness. Focus is very important.

Work was good today. Managed to create a site in a day today – had registered it last night and finished it today. Still need to write some more content for the site but things definitely moved faster today. Even took the time out to go out with my wife for dinner.
