Slept until just before 6am: and considering I went to bed at 9:30pm, that is a good sleep for me.
Thank you again for your prayers: and thanks be to God.
I made an appointment to see a career counsellor at the uni I studied at; we shall see how that goes. Not planning a dramatic change, as yet, but I think it may be a good idea to talk to someone and get some ideas on where I can go and where I would like to go. I may also attend an Open Day at the Catholic Institute of Sydney to talk about theological study -- for my own interest I quickly add!
Booked into a short course that appealed at the Catholic Adult Education Centre: Moral Life in Christ:
God’s Revelation to us includes not only what is true about God but also how we ought to live to be true to ourselves. This course takes the Catechism of the Catholic Church and opens up what is contained in divine Revelation about how we are to live to be happy here and hereafter.
I did go out to lunch with one of those colleague from down the road last week, and may go out again today. Had a good conversation with the colleague I much admire today: good in the sense it seemed normal: not me feeling inadequate in his presence. I still admire him, and probably always will, but it was good to feel normal and feel as if I could talk to him as I do others.
Small steps: but thanks be to God for them -- and for the strength, blessing and opportunities presented that are helping me make some progress towards the dawn of this rather frightening at times night.
[edit: had a good lunch out with the much-admired colleague; a nice boost to my self-esteem he asked and nice to spend some time out of the office chatting about anything and everything -- and a "normal" conversation again with me not feeling too inferior...]
