The thought process behind these silent retreats that I attend was started by St. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuit order of Catholic priests 500 years ago. He called this process the “Spiritual Exercises”, that is, taking the time to “examine” your life, and asking yourself the questions you know you should be thinking about:
–Who am I really?
–What do I believe and why?
–What kind of father or mother, or son or daughter, do I want to be?

What kind of [Person] do [I] Want to Be?

By the time I get up to my bed each night I am usually too tired to write a lot or go into great detail or either I have just plain forgotten the funny stuff that has happened

My desire to not want them is stronger than my desire to have them

Am I looking for a life of excitement because I lack one, or because I have calloused my heart to the small joys around me in search of a greater joy somewhere else?
