A very happy Mass today, Pentecost Sunday.

There were some especial Scriptures, and our priest gave a beautiful homily. I sat next to Mum, and next to Mirko, and he steadied me with holding my hand for quite a time. I thought quite a lot about the realisation I had this week about how, abstaining from food, eating, as i do is a kind of gluttony. It felt strange, but yes, it's as selfish as eating more than you need to. I see how I add to my parents worries, selfishly. It makes me feel more anxious, and I have to resist going against all wise counsel.

There's lots I need to think about. I hope for a quiet walk with Mirko this afternoon, we are going out shortly. Mirko is very supportive, understanding, he helped me a lot yesterday, even with the painting of Drago. I am just changing out of my dress, I do keep it for Church since it's not my usual daily style really. I will think about what to wear, or not, and we will take my dog with us, maybe the hounds too. I will check with Dad if he wants them with him this afternoon.
