At the Hospital

So there I was, in the Sacred Space of one of the largest hospitals in town. I just performed my midday prayer after meeting my skin specialist about my eczma which hadn't stopped since last winter!
I just signed up for the regular UV light therapy for the next few weeks. This means I have to come out to the city super early 3 x per week to undergo certain minutes of therapy before going to work.

I took a sick leave today and came out with a list of things to buy. Once I hit Big W my list was doubled and I bought a lot of new things to replace my old things in the kitchen and bathroom.

I'd also gone to the pharmacy to get my prescribed medication. Now I've got 3 huge plastic bags full of stuff which I carried around until I entered this room.

This hospital indeed provides a small yet very nice spot where we can pray. I love how the holy Books of different religions are displayed along the corridor.

I like the idea of having a "sacred space" for any faith community to use and reflect on life. Though I'm sure that most times the space is only used by the many praying Muslims, I decided to take a pause for a minute and write down my thoughts.

After this I need to head home, taking a quick stop at the supermarket to get some mushrooms. I really wanted to make creamy soup with broccolis and mushrooms! And then continuing on my To-Do list. There were too many items I spotted to be cleaned or fixed that I got so easily distracted at home that my To-Do list never seemed to end.

Alright. Enough pausing for now, and I shall make a move.
