Day 2...

...and I am still doing ok. Today was the Sabbath, so we went to church. I think it's so important to have a faith. Not just a belief in Christ, but a church that you attend. I think that it helps to surround yourself with people of the same beliefs and practices that you have. Just sayin'... In other news, I am still reading the book and thinking about being under construction. This book talks about putting oneself under construction...becoming what YOU are meant to be. Not you with your friends, or you with the kids, or you with an OTHER...just YOU. It's difficult because I have been engaged or married for half of my life, literally. I was 18 when I started down this particular path. And admittedly, I knew everything. : ) Life got a little fuzzier as I walked down that path...a path that took me farther and farther away from who I was and maybe who I was meant to be. Now as I turn down another path, I realize that life is still fuzzy, but that maybe I need a new perspective to clear things up a little. Thought #1 with new perspective: I am smart. Maybe not street smart or loaded with common sense (I still maintain that if sense were more common that more people would have it!!!)...but I do have the ability to learn and even to teach. I have watched as people actually understand what I say to them. It's such a head rush to know that people are listening to you and what you say is making a difference. That couldn't happen if I didn't have knowledge to impart, ya know?? So, in this new life that I am about to make for myself, the one thing that I know is- I am smart.

Shana...I know that I don't know you very well, but I know one thing..you are EXTREMELY smart! I have thought that from the day that I met you.
