Dear everyone,

Last month I partially failed to upload the Clergymotivational, I feel unable to offer long term clerical council/chat/talk/thingy to people and have so far not been contacted, much, for short term clerical council/chat/talk/thingy. I believe it is best for me to remove the Clergymotivational duty of my list for I am of opinion I am no longer capable of doing that.

Will be less active for a wile, yet not away, I will check my PM box a few times a week for any sort of short termed chats that might be requested for I will remain available, if people contact me for long term conversation I will help to find the suitable brother for that, and if the situation demands it I will do my best to seek additional support outside the Temple, making additional phone calls if required, all of that remains..

I am going to lower the long term things a bit to figure my personal issues out. I will try to post every now and then in my Journal. (also mentioned that I would upload several images + Sermon, will do that as soon as I am capable to do)

My energy burns away as I am having issues with finding an internship. So far I have not been very active in the forums and it only contributes to my own fading connection with the Temple itself. *sigh* All I can do it try to be here, write a Sermon every now and then, and working things out before adding anything else to my list of responsibilities. Please note I feel well, yet drained, a bit.. my low-key doings might result in me not noticing all things happening. I will take time to look over the board one or two times a week to offer additional support.

I am sorry,

Force shine with you all,

***

Aqua,
There is no need to be sorry. You must have rest when your body says. Thank you for all that you do, and don't worry. We are here for you too. I wish you the best of luck in finding an internship and a restful period of rest.

While it is important as a clergy member to help and take care of others, it's also important for that clergy member to take care of themselves. Do you what you need to do so that when you are at your 100%, you can continue to help others reach their 100%.

I wish you the best, and thank you for all your work.

How does that quote go?

Happy R&R Aqua. If you ever need to chat, we are all here for you. :)

There isn't much I can add but echo what's already been said. Sometimes we need the crappiest of all crappy crap to cultivate the fertilizer used for what's about to blossom. Find your center. :)

You gotta make sure your own oxygen mask is on first, my friend. Rest up. I'm just a buzz away if you need anything.

Everyone needs a vacation away from the Temple sooner or later, especially if you personally feel your taking on too much. The Temple isn't going anywhere, go take care of you...
