Already February

So it is already February and things are already crazy.  Why is it that things go KooKoo around a full moon or new moon?  What is up with that?  Does it have to do with the tides and the pull of the moon (4th grade science)?

My hubby and I are suppose to go to a marriage seminar on marriage and all I can think about is that it is Friday and I can sleep early and not wake up until 10:00 Saturday morning.

The youngest of the boys was suppose to have duty this week but it was called off due to lack of funds. Our good earned money at work?  The oldest boy is at a new job and acting like an adult.  So proud of him and his charge to bust out of this existence and make a new life for himself.

Happy New Year

I am so excited about new beginnings, a new year, and an opportunity to make changes physically, spiritually, emotionally, and behaviorally. I can only change myself and cannot expect for others to change because I want them to. I can only teach them a new way to treat me based on my behavior, which I can control and maintain.

Why do others want to blame you when they are slapped in the face with their own disfunction. Is it my fault that my choices are bringing theirs to the surface like a boil that needs antibiotics and a sharp pin to extract the infection. It is a gross analogy but appropriate for the context. My goal is to not react but take a breath and respond with dignity and a Christ-like countenance.
