Wow! Another week has come and gone! I have had a cold for a little over a week now and it is way too sad just how much that can affect daily activities. Foggy, Foggy, Foggy. So, this post is kind of a ramblings of thoughts – bear with me please.~~~~~~~~
My prayer for next week is for health, wisdom, clarity of mind and gentleness – for so many reasons! I need to be healthy again, my mind needs to be clear for all areas of my life, I need wisdom in raising each of my sons and I need to become a mom who mothers with gentleness. Some of these are ongoing prayers obviously, but it always seems a little more pressing when there are other complications thrown in (health and such). ~~~
Maybe it’s just me, but although I feel like I have a social life (I talk to adults in some form each day) I get a little surprised by a sudden overwhelming desire to talk when I do get together with adults.
I enter a room with the ambition to remain the quiet one and I do ok while I’m in the midst of a group of women who are new to me. Trying to exhibit quiet confidence and enter the conversation when it is appropriate, saying the appropriate things, etc. But when I’m thrown into a smaller group with one or two women I know I find myself becoming the dominator – you know, the annoying woman in a group that always has something to say about everything, asks lots of questions and doesn’t seem to know when to stop talking.
I try to catch myself and often do, but I feel nervous and frustrated with myself for going there in the first place. What possesses me to become so very chatty – I know that I am needing more adult interaction, but is it really that bad? Have I become my own worst enemy? I am doing a serious self evaluation today to try to determine the cause of this disease – and the remedy! ~~~~~~
Thank you so much for bearing with my ramblings today! I hope that you have a great day and a blessed weekend! Next week will be a little nuts for us – we have a couple of doctor’s appointments and it is the last week of school for the oldest three. Finally Summer Has Arrived!
