Today's Miracle Mind ?

I hope I get to see it.

Well, Martin, he sounds like he's a very thorough doctor who does have concern for his patients and is very honest with them. If you feel comfortable with him, I can certainly understand why...and I would recommend that you trust what he is saying and doing, keep communication open, and go forward with confidence.

This is great! Your pride in your daughter can now blossom because you are being allowed to not look at everything so dismally. Hey, not everyone is a great cook. If something comes out wrong...well, hey, I've melted pans! There's a difference between acknowledging a flop (and substituting with a sandwich or just making a meal out of the salad) and the insult of knowing that someone doesn't approve or appreciate what you've done by not even eating your food. Enjoy the goulash! You did just fine! There's more to a meal than just the food, anyway, and you will have a wonderful meal.

I like how I see a new strength in you, too. The ability to say "no", "not now", and other things that set limits that YOU put into place. Even with the miserable day "under your belt", it's amazing (isn't it?) how you can now still enjoy an evening as it should be enjoyed. Instead of making you feel guilty about it or letting things go downhill, G made everything be as normal and naturally nice as it should be. You have no idea how happy I am for you!

Now, be honest with yourself. (You don't have to say a thing to me.) Just answer this question HONESTLY to YOURSELF. Maybe, just maybe, with a little help from your new "friend"...but, even if you didn't have that new friend...can you see and feel that you really are a better person, happier, someone who has grown and can have a good life WITHOUT your husband? (Can you make a life for yourself...and I'm not talking money or material things...on your own, just as good if not better than with him?)

Like I said, you don't have to say a thing to me, because I already know the answer! Don't lose sight of the fact that your new "friend" is making everything so different in such a happy, hopeful, loving way...but that YOU yourself are a better, stronger person who is happier and capable of dealing with life. If you don't lose sight of that, you will be ok no matter what happens. So, yes, love, laugh, enjoy...but be sure not to lose yourself. Hang on to you and let others share that with you. Because, this is the person you were meant to be!

Thank you and I hope you have a great weekend, too!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! These are the cutest, most adorable pics! Look at those "hands in the air" in the first one, isn't that something that both of them are doing that? And, just look at that second one...could anything be more precious than that?

I can't get Sundance.

I'm looking for a band-aid for your boo-boo. [] Ahhh, there's one.

Hmmmmm, let me see if I can work on a possible solution to that situation, something that might help along the lines of all that catching up. Lemme think on it.

Yes, I am posting here. Not as frequently as on the other site or you may be accustomed to, but yes, I have been doing some posting here. (I have a few notification problems with mybloggers so I have learned not to depend on them. When I come in to mybloggers, I just click on each friend's picture or name on my friend's list and visit each one's "page". That's how I know for sure if there are any new posts to read. I'll read all the new ones for each person until I've gone through the entire list of friends.)

An important lesson for all of us to learn from and practice.

Nice post. I could see you smiling as you were writing it. That little kitty is keeping you lovingly busy, but I can tell you are very content. Having a special time of the day, for you it's morning and evening, for others it may be different, but to have some special time is important, I think.

Welcome Serendipity! Oh, angie, she is soooooo tiny! But, ohhhh... so so cute! It's impossible to ever think that you couldn't love her. I think it's pretty darn impossible to think that she isn't going to love you, too! I hope she grows to be a fine, healthy cat...I know you are going to help her do that!
