A sumptuous lunch today! Weight Watch points off the scale! When I was the Anglican Chaplain at HMP Doncaster Tom was Methodist Chaplain. Prison ministry is a serious business but there were times when Tom and I laughed so much the tears rolled down our cheeks! The humour kept us sane in a place where sanity is in short supply. When I left we decided to meet every couple of months for lunch to catch up and to keep the laughter alive.
Tom has been on Sabbatical too. He finished when I started. I discovered we had similar sabbatical objectives. His was 3 fold - to be healthier in mind, body and spirit. Mine were 2 fold - to fitter both physically and spiritually. I forgot about the mind. I guess I was thinking that spiritual health involves mental health. However the development of the mind deserves special attention. Tom has virtually written a book and learned portrait painting during his sabbatical! His mental equipment is smarter than mine to start with!
As for me, well two out of three isn't bad. In any case talking to Tom today was good for my spiritual and mental health. That lunch was a disaster for my physical health! Still, two out of three....
