My Filter is gone. Not that I had a very good one to begin with ;-)
I do however, strive to be a Lady. I don't always succeed, BUT, I try.
This post was 90% done, and was deleted. So I am going to TRY to put it back together. So please forgive me if it seems choppy. Instead of a thesis, it's going to be more like a bunch of short stories. So here goes.
* I am so very content in My Marriage right now. I pray David knows how into this I am. How content I am. And feels the same.
We have worked hard, and now enjoy many comforts that we haven't had in the past.
* I am so very grateful for Mark, Sean, and Dan. They have helped us so much the past couple of weeks as we've tried to move to a less mice infested garage. I truly love them and am grateful to have them as Family.
* We had a Family Gathering on Sunday. I almost didn't go. Because I refuse to disrespect ANYONE in their own home. And I didn't feel that I owed Douglas that respect (he and Tracy were hosting) due to what I consider his lack of shared participation in the Family as a whole. However, once I decided to go, and entered his home, giving him that respect was no longer up for discussion. And even though I still feel that he has a lack of shared contribution, he and Tracy were good hosts, and I am glad for the time with Family.
* We bought a new gun last week. I have been wanting THIS particular gun for a LONG time. It is a Taurus Judge. And can either fire .45 or Shotgun rounds. Which makes acquiring ammunition much easier.
* I'd like to blend in. And protect my Family from being scrutinized. However, a line has been drawn, and I am not a Fence Sitter. And I find myself taking a very concise and firm stand on the issues I believe in. Some that I didn't KNOW until now I had an opinion on. Like Circumcision. I don't believe in it. You wouldn't remove your child's eyelid, right?
And Breastfeeding. I will not cover up to feed any child I may have in the future. Which may mean not going to many Family events. I do not know that my In Laws could handle or support my not covering up. Which means I may need to keep my distance. We shall see.
* Because of my relationship with David right now, and the very clear side I take on things, I feel that I am coming into much of my full ability to be strong and take a stand.... even when I lose Friends over it. I am SO grateful to David and My Heavenly Father for this!!!!
* David gave me a Blessing as he left to go back to work Monday. It was shorter than usual. But very clear, and thought provoking. I was Blessed with protection. I was advised to take care of myself and not only know, but respect my limits. I was blessed with health... I usually am, as I tend to be very susceptible to illness.
*David said we can have a cat...
*And I'm either pregnant, or dying. :P
