I just knew...

Twice in 24 hours I knew something but I didn't know for sure.  Both times my "hunches" were correct.  Both are overwhelming and invoulve some very strong emotions.  So I will be heading to Seattle soon.  Part of me is hoping I am wrong.

Tomorrow night is Tori's first sleepover not at our home and not at her grandparent's home.  Yea slightly stressful. This may be the last one.  Jake is staying the night with his grandparents and Lee and I will finish shopping and go out to dinner.  It was a a long week.  In addition to all of the overwhelming news I was involved in a file review at work as well as on call. 

Running is still going well.  Being up before the sun is so calming and helps me to focus on my day.   The weight is coming off as I thought it would but I am feeling healthier and stronger.

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.
