Summary of Week 5

 Summary of Progress (Week 5)


Still moving in the right direction, though it does feel very slowly. I’ve had some terrible cravings for sugar and hunger pangs this week, so I did inadvertently up my calories the last few days. I managed to get to Church twice and get a sacramental Confession done, so there’s that.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:


“Music


It must be somewhere, the original harmony,

somewhere in great nature, hidden.

Is it in the furious infinite,

in distant stars’ orbits,

is it in the sun’s scorn,

in a tiny flower, in treegossip,

in heartmusic’s mothersong

or in tears?

It must be somewhere, immortality,

somewhere the original harmony must be found:

how else could it infuse

the human soul,

that music?” - Juhan Liiv

Inspirational Quote of the Day:


“People always think that happiness is a faraway thing," thought Francie, "something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains - a cup of strong hot coffee when you're blue; for a man, a cigarette for contentment; a book to read when you're alone - just to be with someone you love. Those things make happiness.”

Inspirational Quote of the Day:


“Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.”
