Had a cool moment today. I was washing the dishes listening to a podcast as I do, and when it ended I didn't bother to dry my hands to turn another one on but in the quiet I instinctively turned to God in prayer.
Habits are so important. I used to scoff at some of the spiritual practices but it is so important to build these God centered routines into our lives to hold us steady when chaos comes.

"In ways that are often hard to articulate but run through everything, my work has been deeply informed by my own experiences. I have been reading Homer throughout my adult life. Whenever I hear blustering winds and rain-storms, surging rivers or choppy seas, when I watch a flock of geese or a swooping hawk, when I walk through rustling woods or up a mountainside, I know I am inside the world of Homeric similes. Even the most trivial moments of daily life remind me of Homer. I notice that my feet are not "well-oiled" whenever I tie my sandals on. I cannot watch my dog happily rolling in mulch without thinking of Achilles, prostrated in grief and tossing around in the dust. More seriously, the poem gives me a language to understand my deepest emotions and those of people around me. When I weep for my mother, who died recently in a distant land, I remember the grief of Achilles and of Priam. The Iliad is with me always."
— Emily Wilson, in the translator's note of her Iliad

It's been a day! I have a rug now! (Although I still need to centre it but apparently i was too tired to find the butch girl strength to pick up my sofa entirely), got a solid 3 hours sleep (you know I'm rounding up😅) my Samsung health app just had a '?' where the hours of sleep should be. Accurate. I'm confused too Samsung. Third job of dog walking started, went to the old house to sort some things, and then nap was not achieved, followed by work ✌️ pray for me and my sleep schedules. I'd say I'll sleep when I finish work at 6am, but I'm gonna be up again about 10am, maybe a nap later or a small coma? 😅 why am I like this? 🤷♀️ Linkiesssss
