Thought I'd write a little during the last part of my lunch break. I appreciate all the e-mails and calls from those concerned about me. I am fine, really. I went to the doctor on Monday and they increased the dosage on my happy pills. I'm a little jittery, but feeling better. Ken and I have talked and I feel like he might have actually heard me this time. We are giving the Tucson move a chance, then, if nothing happens, no more looking. If it does come through, he promises to keep us there for a while. I just need to settle somewhere. If it is here, then so be it. If Tucson, then so be it. But, one of these places needs to become home for me.
Dad is coming for Thanksgiving next week. Can't wait to see him. We are going to San Diego for the weekend for a soccer tournament. We are also planning the Vegas trip in December. So, we have things to look forward to.
I'm reading an interesting book now called "The Shack." I think I recommend it, not done yet, not sure either, it does make you think though. It takes a whole different spin on our relationship with God. If you read it, let me know what you thought.
Back to work. Ugh!

I LOVED "The Shack". Dad read it (twice) and said he loved it too. I think having the trinity being given different faces than we historically expect gave me pause to look at the real love and acceptance ideas. Of course all the cooking and mealtimes drew me into the idea of being part of a "family" (how appropriate that she knows how to cook the kind of food we serve!). Too often in organized religion the roles we play and the expectations we either have or think others have of us is distracting from the message that he (she) loves me, welcomes me right where I am and always wants the very best for me. This book also reinforced the importance of trust for me. When we are raised and expected to be strong, independent, self-sufficient, it is so hard to genuinely trust anyone. This book gives a glimpse of the peace faith/trust can offer. I had a hard time putting it down.
Jodi, I hope reading The Shack helps allow you to feel loved, accepted and guided too. Hugs to you- Janna
