Friday: My Week in Review

Istiqlal (Independence), 3 Asma (Names) 177 B.E. - Friday, August 21, 2020

It's Friday! The last day of the traditional work week. The last virtual vacation entry I made was on Tuesday, August 18. I attempted to make entries for Wednesday, August 19, and Thursday, August 20. I failed to make those entries on those days. Today, I decided that I probably wasn't going to make them, so I deleted the beginning of each (which was only the prompt explanation). Even though, I feel less stressed today than I have the last two days, I decided not to make a virtual vacation entry for today. At this point, I don't know if I'm going to continue the virtual vacation entries. I will know that by Sunday, August 23.

Yesterday I made a Thankful Thursday entry in "Writing in Snow"  titled "Thankful Thursday: August 20, 2020" . Today I made an entry in "Snow's Space Blog"  titled "The Unity of Science and Religion" . I'm more focused today than I was the last two days, so I will review and write a contest entry. I don't want to stress myself because I don't know why I was stressed the last two days. I couldn't focus on anything for very long, which had an effect on my writing.

I'm sorry.
How good Baha'u'llah is to us (ne).
