Class is chugging along. I asked Triple S what day it was today. I can't believe it is already Wednesday!
All my reading and writing energy (almost) are being used up in class.
Someone asked me today if I had kids. I felt blue and about ready to explode, like the old green poison control/ Mr. Yuck stickers back from when I was a kid.
I looked down and shook my head.
What happened to my always-ready "Not with me". Yeah, I blew it.
Then she said "oh, you're so young yet. I didn't have mine until blah di blah blah blah".
Stop talking stop talking stop talking.
A exercise in class was to write 5 words we hate. See if you can guess why I don't care for some of these:
Hate (These are five words I strongly dislike)
supposed to
miracle
only
almost

Serenity Joy almost made it into this world alive, but almost doesn't count. Her little sister did make it.
When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.

Oh. Sorry, Ya Chun. That question used to catch me off guard in the beginning. I'm getting better at repeating my standard answer.
We should make that assignment of yours a meme. I'd love to see what everyone would come up with...
I agree with C, it would be interesting to hear what everyone's top words would be.
You hit on many of mine.
*hugs to you*
I am constantly disappointed with how I react to those questions. I want to stand up and say what I think about 20 seconds later...
My 5:
blessing
strong
lost
patience
sobriety (i kid, i kid)
What a great idea. Consider it done!
I am 38 and get asked that question alot...not that my age provokes the question but I always say, with a very upbeat tone "two dogs....so that's three kids if you count my husband too." That always gets a laugh and people seem to "get it" and don't pursue it further.
