Prayer before Internet access / Pentecost

-

I've re-read some old posts, and found this good old-fashioned style, prayer to focus my mind prior to the "journey" into the wilderness that is the Internet.
Prayer before logging onto the internet: by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

LISTEN
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen

I listen  and pray  for  grace to be able  to  carry  the message  into my life, my vocation .  I'm ... well.... 

*€*€£*&*¥** Quote  
 Forget if only…
“This is the life you’ve been given by God. Live it fully.” Reads one of two quotes I keep on my puja. The second reads, “Whatever you do let it come from a place of love.” 
The  Perfect  Servant  article = What do I have  to  complain  about .

FYI: Just a couple days a week posts will be a more doable goal I think. Sunday or Monday & 'mid-week,' Nevertheless,  here is a composite post. re: Tiredness & some more about my history. So, I DO KNOW when to quit working. I decide, remind myself to care for my health, then 10 minutes (OK 30) later, I'm still standing here on hurting feet, squinting now (took glasses off when I told myself to stop earlier). Y, I walked away & took a break, lay down for a 15 minute rest that turned into an hour and a half nap. Tom does Not approve of Camera.  I feel so much better after a rest, yet I am still upset somehow that I need it. (It is Extra isn't it? to Nap is to be weak maybe?)  It's been, .. UM let's see, 1985, that would be.... 32!  32 years I've been 'only' tired.  Before they removed the tumour, I got to be tired with nausea and dizzy spells and seizures and mood swings. (OK so maybe the mood swings didn't entirely go away,

Cut & paste to the FB drainhole.  So, I've been praying about whether or not to begin writing again.   I'd appreciate your opinion.  Is it too much self-focus? or should I try again?    I have two pages still up:  https://fyribooks.blogspot.com/ https://fyribooks.wordpress.com/ May 2017 was month of reflection and joyfully seeing the NW spring break into summer. FyhriGarden had lovely weather for beginning of 🔥 fire ring. Don't think they sunburned themselves much. . The quote below from Broken Way author, speaks to me as a caregiver. I wasn't a calm or patient Mom., I feel somewhat a failure for being unable to improve much while caring for hubby. "You wanted to be more patient — you wanted to never lose it, to always have it together, to  keep calm and that is all , always, — and yeah, take their tantrums with a grain of salt instead of throwing one of yours that turned out to be a first class tsunami and a tad bit more dramatic than theirs.......
