Week 1, Day 4

Morning Pages

Today my morning pages consisted of all my thoughts about when I stopped believing in God and how that happened. I had plans today of writing out this long personal essay explaining it all, but right now I just don't feel the urge to get it out. I feel guilty for not wanting to share it at this moment, but I also feel responsible to gather all my thoughts before presenting them.

As I've been diving into the book of Matthew I'm actually finding it more enjoyable then I had thought I originally would. Some of it seems a little repetitive, but maybe that just means certain things are more important. Is there a Cliff's Notes version?

Cooking

Last night I decided to go ahead and create a dish that I hadn't cooked before. I found recipe in a book I got for Christmas from my mom for stuffed chicken. I mixed red apple chucks, red onion, cinnamon, mushrooms, bread crumbs, and egg whites. Flattened the chicken breast, stuffed the mix in and then sautéed them on the stove with 1/4 cup white wine and 1/4 water. I didn't drink the wine, just cooked the chicken in it, which the alcohol boils off. I'm ok with that. It did actually feel like a pretty creative dish, I don't know about artistic really, but creative none the less. AND, it turned out to be delicious.

Today I am planning my 20 minute focused walk for myself. As much as I already walk all the time and have been doing it without music, I'm curious to see what things might pop up in my head today. I'll, of course, let you know.
