Boy oh boy! It takes some work to keep current on things, doesn't it?
I went to Houston for two weeks and then came home and had a bit of a awakening, so to speak. Just after dealing with all that, it was time to begin the project that I started yesterday (details to follow!!) and so here I am at almost 10pm Tuesday, August 16th just now getting back to my blog.
I apologize.
Soooooo much has happened! Houston was wonderful. It was absolutely lovely to see my dear friends and I surely did need the pick-me-up. I had a (Science of Mind) Practitioner Session scheduled for a few days before I left and I was hoping for a quantum leap. The Practitioner told me that while I had not leapt yet, I was walking up to the precipice. And the session was quite helpful!
I sat down and talked to the part of me that was making the most noise and said, "What's up?" The dialogue proved highly enlightening and "Una" and I still chat regularly.
I took an extra day to rest since my time in Houston had been non-stop movement, then I brought myself home. And in less than a week, completely flipped out.
You see, once I had been away from the stress of no husband (due to intense work hours) and living with a mother-in-law from a totally different culture---and went to where I was completely loved and supported---coming back to the unloving and unsupportive environment was like removing my ability to breathe.
And so I choked. A lot. My prayer partner (thank you!) helped me to recognize that I simply could not continue with things the way they currently were. So I had some major decisions to make.
I have since had a couple serious talks with my husband regarding his work hours and the current living arrangement. Stay tuned to see if there are actually any changes that come out of these talks. At this point, I feel better now that my needs have been expressed and because I have provided a timeline and expectations.
Doing this was one of the most difficult things I have had to do. Now I pray that all will work out for everyone's greatest good.
So how was my eating? Check out the next post!
