Couple of random thoughts this morning……..

W came back from weekend @ sister’s house. Nothing much changed – @ one point asked her if she had fun and she grimaced and started to say something but then seemed to catch herself and said that they had a good time. I believe that she was going to say something about it not being about having fun…… Sister invited her down to help “clean her closet/basement” because her H was going to be out of town….. Not sure what to read into that so just trying to let it go……..

Football season is over now so I have more time to “think/reflect” on things…… Not sure that’s a completely good thing though????

S15 has begun to volunteer at assisted living home a couple times a week for a few hours each time through a club at school – talking to the folks there and playing in Wii tournaments with them - very proud of him for that and have made sure that he knows that!

Lady stopped the boys and I after Mass this weekend and said thanks for helping her to have a positive experience at church – not sure what the specifics were but felt good that something we did seemed to help her. And that she took the time to say something about it….. Don't remember her specific words but something about helping her to see Jesus at work - or something like that.....

Also couple of wknds ago went out with a group of guys on my birthday to a local establishment and learned how to play darts – Cricket specifically….. Lots of fun – amazing that it took me this long to figure that out…..

Well, I knew they were a bunch of random thoughts. Journaling here to get them out of my head so I can get on with work……

Still an odd feeling about situation with W. Like I am more ready for her to move on and for me to move even more forward…….. Not sure that I like it – and not sure what to do with it???? And trying to understand if this just part of the process???
