misc.
Still wondering about the dream. How do you tell what dreams are from God? Thoughts? Impressions? Heck, lets go all the way - how can one be totally sure of anything being from God? I think about this a lot. Probably why I appreciate Adrian Plass so much. He is frankly honest about his lack of certainty in the spiritual dept. Others seem so sure about it all: Jesus, heaven, prophecy. Are they really sure? Should they be? Wisdom and input appreciated. Don't excommunicate me, please.
Speaking of spiritual things. Re: message on Sunday. Read your Bible. Preferrably 10 chapters a day. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! No, I do not receive that. I was quite impacted by learning about Reality Therapy's principles of goal setting last year. SAMIC: Simple, Attainable, Measurable, Immediate and Continuously Done. Attainable is the biggy for this woman. There's a lot of things I would like to improve on, and I tend to go nuts and try to do these things from time to time. Then I utterly fail and get discouraged. Exercise falls into this category. I know what I am doing (20-30 minutes 3x week) is probably not "enough", but I can do it, and I am in my 6th week of doing it. And it's better than setting a goal of 1 hour sessions and not doing it. For Bible, I'd just like to get to the point where I'm reading it every day. That's attainable.
On Friday Ash pooped without an enema. That was a fairly major event for us. She'll hold it in for a week or more and then start delivering rabbit pellets every 12 minutes. This last one was a 6 day hold. I don't know how it fit inside her, it was huge. Those of you who are my friends and have known my angst over how to handle this will celebrate with me. The rest of you will probably be grossed out and wonder why I am posting this. Tough.
Loved seeing Conor's smile today. He can be an absolute flirt with the ladies!
Loved cuddling Ashlin as she brought me piles of books to read.
Loved seeing the delight on Taryn's face as she got to borrow one of Rob's shirts as a nightshirt tonight. She jumped around and danced.
I'm trying on being happy. Just deciding to be. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes not so much. But I can do it more than I thought I could. It's kind of nice.
