Dear Diary


April 3, 1955

Dear Diary

Today we find ourselves in a calm reverie, the festive echoes of the weekend still warm in our hearts. The Inner Court, our haven, stands steadfast beside the farmhouse, its gray walls as welcoming as ever in the serene aftermath of celebration.

Sister Mary Claire and I took respite today, embracing the tranquility of the farmstead. We delved into the garden's embrace, our hands among the blooms and buds, nurturing the earth as it awakens to spring's gentle call.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, we retreated to our cherished wagon within the gray building. The wood stove's glow competed with the twilight, and in its warmth, we found peace. Here, amidst rustic simplicity, the world's clamor fades, and sisterly bonds deepen.

Our night draws to a close with heartfelt prayers, the stillness of The Inner Court wrapping around us like the most tender of embraces. We whisper our thanks for the day's gentle labors and seek solace in the night's embrace, our souls content and full of grace.

"Lord, as this day folds into the tapestry of time, bless our rest with dreams divine."

In gratitude and peace, Kathy
