JOURNAL:

I have a new job that runs twelve hour shifts and I will be working the graveyard. This changes my japa time (not to mention the rest of my life). I like chanting my rounds in the quiet of the early morning hours but now I must chant them in the middle of the afternoon. In today's sloka Srila Prabhupada reminds me what is important; death is coming, chant while I can, so I will be ready!
