Thanks Mack. I actually was referring to marriage counselling - that is the counselling that frustrated me. We go separately to the same counsellor now. It works.
Yes, I did finish both CCCC and the Chosen one. I am working through a Spirit one now - along with the various books and studies I get from my church and other sources. And someday I should go back to writing and sending out the devotionals I was doing for my email list. So many choices.
One thing that I have found, that this site really stresses, and I guess it is another current lesson in my life, is that slow is fast. Frequently, half a lesson or less on this site is a good dose of pondering and meditation for a day.
Things are good right now. Better than they have been since 2007.
In every way possible.
I am thinner, I exercise more, I have more grandchildren,
My business is very much on the rise, I am enjoying the challenges,
I have this site and all the friends on it, I have more friends in other parts of my life,
And, my husband is travelling on the spiritual road with me now.
I think the journey throught the valley of the shadow is over for while. I believe I get to walk in fields of sunlight and daffodils for the next period of my life. I will try to hold onto compassion and humility, so maybe I can have more sunlight and daffodils than shadows and chilly winds. Brrrr. Don't like those.
