Like Two Sparrows in a Hurricane (1)

[MAL]

As for 180's:
- I don't work as much. That stopped when I came back from Israel.

- I received a promotion earlier this year, which added a lot of pressure to me. One of the things that caused me to step back from RC. I felt like we were all over the place, and neither making the other a priority. Funny thing though, I have more responsibility, but I am working less. And I had one of the best years and performance reviews of my career.

- I make more time for friends.

- I attend church every Sunday, and I study the lesson. This was more for my spiritual growth and not because of RC though. It was more of a calling from God that got me back. And it’s not a hit/miss thing like it used to be.

- I now attend Bible Study on Wednesday nights.

- I joined the choir, something I always wanted to do because singing brings me joy, but I wasn’t able to commit to it because of work and college. I still need to finish college, but that is on hold until I get my son to college.

- The spiritual things are very important to him, and I know that. But it wasn’t the reason I got involved in those things again.

- I listen to RC when he talks about history, goofy songs, civil war re-enacting, and things that I used to tune out. It’s not the most exciting subject, but it’s important to him. So I make it a priority to listen. He doesn’t see the glazed over look anymore.

- I am back to karaoke again. I hadn’t been much in the past several months because there never seemed to be enough time.

- I sang a solo at church for the first time, something I always wanted to do but never had the nerve. I’ve been asked to sing again.

- I am working out, riding my bike, and getting in exercise on a regular basis. That was something I struggled to do before.

- Now if I get back into college, some of the activities will need to be limited, obviously. But I don’t think the regular attendance at church will change. It seems to have stuck with me.

- I keep getting comments from people that there is something different about me, like a light got turned on. I still think it started back when I went to Israel. Whatever it is, it shows.

-I take time for little things in life, like going down the slide at the beach. I laugh a lot more now too.

I know there are others, but that is a good list for now.
