Fiuggi

Fiuggi was last week-end destination. Spring in a thermal station with cherry blossom. I went with my friends from Dragona. As always a good learning experience, step by step I'll get there, no worries :). It was nice except the rain on Saturday afternoon and the traffic to get out of Rome.

I even got fresh ideas for the next time someone asks me at an interview "What would your friends say about you?" radiosa, gioiosa, spontanea e speciale, really??! -the comment is not from me but I liked it, of course ;) - On the opposite my colleague calls me grumpy-little-one (actually because I don't smile when she is passing by. I try to be focused, she doesn't want to understand that...). I'm not all days in high spirits but yes, I am giving thanks to my God for what he has given me. One of my favorite passage lately is Psalm 40.

Psalm 40 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.¹

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.

² He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

³ He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

⁴Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.

⁵ Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no-one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.

⁶Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.

⁷ Then I said, Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll.

⁸ I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.

⁹I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O LORD.

¹⁰ I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.

¹¹Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me.

¹² For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails withinme.

¹³Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.

¹⁴ May all who seek to take mylifebe put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

¹⁵ May those who say to me, Aha! Aha! be appalled at their own shame.

¹⁶ But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, The LORD be exalted!

¹⁷Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay
