Just not sure....

It has been an emotional few days.  I begrudgingly went to church we haven't been in several weeks.  At the opening song I was ready to walk out. So one of the speakers spoke on hope.  She was so amazing in her talk.  I saw her after the fact and told her how much I appreciated her talk.  One thing she said was that we should never squash our children hope. 

Our class went pretty well.  Then Lee went away.  We are hoping he will be able to be home all next week.  We have so much going on my head is spinning about it.  I will blog about it later. 

Today somebody I have met sent me a very nice package with a gift card to Amazon.  I am so excited.  It was so thoughtful.  I have felt so much love from the most unexpected people these last few weeks

In the past two weeks I have lost ten pounds.  I am thrilled about it.  I still have more to go but I am now more motivated then I have been in a long time. 

Lee sent me an email that summed out exactly what I have been thinking.  It is nice to be on the same page at least for today.

In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
