Tired today

Thoroughly, completely tired. Worn, inside and out.

• ...hurting souls.
• ...winter weather.
• ...getting behind the wheel.
• ...short-sighted cluelessness.
• ...long evenings away from home.
• ...hours at the desk/computer/copier.
• ...lots of admin, and no admin assistance.
  
• ...those who undermine in the guise of support.
• ...two steps forward, anywhere between one and three steps back.

God is merciful; I leave for four days' retreat on Thursday. It can't come soon enough.
