Making the best of the mess.

[97Hope]

I think that's the point of DB, isn't it? The healthier we get, the less appealing they are and they and either grow emotionally, as well, or be left behind. But we come to a place where we know the difference because we have been busy doing to work on ourselves!!

GAL - I'm actually having dinner with the lady from the nail salon tonight!! She's texted how excited she is on having a new friend. (I didn't scare her off!! Hooray!) Visited with my pal yesterday and going to a movie this weekend. Would like to have available friends, but I'll go by myself in the meantime. It didn't bother me a bit and I got all the popcorn to myself, so...

Today I am trying to drag a tree off of my driveway. I had to call a friend to come by and help because I've never dragged a tree with a tractor before (only used it to move hay and some small limbs). I asked him to come and supervise and he's coming later today. I like this guy because he will watch and supervise do I don't hurt myself, but he's not an egomaniac. Those are sometimes rare qualities in men in the ranching community. I'm thankful he's available and willing.

Lots of yard work - not my favorite in this heat, but physical labor will be good for me. We had a major storm sunday night and I think a small tornado passed. Tops of trees down, that sort of thing.

I've also enrolled in a Biblical Counseling certification course!! I took the first series of classes a year ago, and have been struggling with feelings of inadequacy since, but so many people have been coming to me for advice that I feel convicted that this is my next step. I mean really, I've been in counseling so long, I certainly know what doesn't work! My church as a void for women's ministry and I'm being led to serve in that area.

In the evenings I've been watching Harry Potter. H would give me garbage about it in the past and I'm enjoying just doing what suits me in the moment.

I believe you have now reached level 1 in the CAGD, you may now put 1/2 of a line across. At the end of level 4 - we will all have complete red x's across that. ; ) At which time we will eat our own cake and drink our own tea/pints. Maybe even have to get new shirts with 'former CAGD'

Good to hear from you. Excellent on your work of self-awareness!!
