day 3

Gil's rule of life:(attempting rule of life)

1 . Caring for my body: Getting adequate sleep, exercise and practicing healthy eating habits
      - exercise 3 times a week
      - sleep min 7 hours a night
      - eat better

2. Daily Prayer
      - setting aside time such as when I am waiting for Rhys to fall asleep, or early morning when I first wake up

3.  Daily Devotion- trying to keep it fresh and not feel like a chore or something I have to do

4. Having a sabbath- the blackberry will be off from 9:00pm sat to 9:00pm sun




You know how sometimes you get yourself all worked up for something you are going to do.  Then you begin to do everything to get ready or setup to do the "thing".  You spend time in scheduling and making plans to how to execute the thing.  But then you don't actually get around to doing the actual thing.  That's me this week.  Also getting back into my work schedule was interesting.  Waking up at 6am takes time to get use to.  I started setting up a plan on how I was going establish monastic rhythm.  I found myself making excuses like...the monks probably didnt have to balance budgets or attend 5 meetings a day.  Haha.  excuses excuses.
