Death and Life

People never die when it is convenient.  Lee's aunt died yesterday and the funeral is Thursday.  In New York.  Jake is scheduled to get baptized Saturday. In Idaho.  No way Lee's dad can be back in time and if Lee goes then he would want to stay through the weekend.We are considering moving the date to March but Jake isn't thrilled with the idea.  

 I have faith that it will all work out.  

 Life is good.  I applied for a new job at work and I am not sure if I am going to go through the interview process or not.  

 Tomorrow Victoria is doing a dance/cheer clinic in the morning and then that night they preform at the high school basketball game.  

My mind is spinning with all the things that do. 

Cleaning the house 
laundry
Budget
Register Jake for soccer
book condo for the beach 
organize Jake's room
gather tax stuff

 Plus a million little things and lots of huge things at work

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.
