Hello, folks.<\/p>\n

This morning started off extremely busy !<\/p>\n

It began with driving down past Aptos a ways to pick up garlands for the Sunday Feast at the Seva Ashram<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

Then I helped pickup my friend Josiah’s son from a house East of the Ashram, it was on the way back.<\/p>\n

Drove up to the Ashram to deliver the garlands and some flowers that I got from Laxmi Priya DD this morning.<\/p>\n

After that, drove back out again to pickup flower donations from a supermarket that donates flowers to the Ashram.<\/p>\n

Took them to the Ashram, unloaded the car with the help of my good friend Madhav Prabhu, and Josiah.<\/p>\n

Following that, it was time for the Sunday Feast.<\/p>\n

However, this week’s busyness caught up with me. I had to rest today. I was out COLD for 4 hours today, breaking my vow of not sleeping during the day hours…..<\/p>\n

I had to though. Wiped out completely. Sometimes we need to break rules in order to do our Seva (Service) properly.<\/p>\n

Actually, breaking the regulations in order to serve Krishna properly is a bona fide concept in our faith.<\/p>\n

On the way back to the Ashram today, I ran over a large garbage bag and it got caught under my car, making a terrible noise while I drove on Highway 1, ha.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I got another donation today to my GoFundMe page<\/a>, and I am SO grateful for that. The Lord is helping me thru his agents, and I am deeply indebted.<\/p>\n

I am SO grateful to be in this community, for the friendships I have, and for my family !!<\/p>\n

Truly blessed is what I’d call myself, even tho I deal with immense physical pain on a daily basis….<\/p>\n

I am also grateful that you took the time to read this post.<\/p>\n

Thanks !<\/p>\n
