Golden Ticket

Lazy Sunday for sure.  Although a member of the bishopric came over and Lee passed on a calling.  He seemed fine with it and said they would keep Lee in mind for something else.  This guy is so by the book and so the first question he asked was if Lee was worthy for a calling.  Weird since he just got released from one.

Today was emotional although I won't go into the details.  Last night one of the speakers was amazing.  I really trying to focus on not looking for the golden ticket and being happy where I am.  It is a struggle.  It is hard because I wonder what we should do.  I wonder if we should stop or move forward.  Maybe last night was my answer.   That we don't need more kids and Lee doesn't need a job. We should count what blessings we have now and enjoy the ride.  

In other news I am counting down the days to a five day weekend.  Ten more days.

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.
