My parents and I are getting along well. Mama's biopsy came back OK, but she has to get some kind of special mammograms every 6 months for a while. Mama and I are going out of town on Friday. She's got professional stuff to do...I'm along for the ride. Clearly, The Lord was willed mega-reconciliation, here. I remembered that she was going to this beach place for professional stuff, so I asked her, and then she asked "should I get you a room, too?" I mean...whoa. I was floored! I was really just curious and trying to make conversation.
Sebastian the dog is gone, but Miranda the dog is still doing well, all things considered (she's tiny, and almost 14 now). Dad was planning on going with mama and me, but now he's staying here, in part to spare Miranda the kennel, and in part to do stuff around the house and also...I imagine...just to have the place to himself for a little while.
My class is going well. We have to do discussion boards...you post an initial reply to a prompt, then reply to 2 other classmate's posts. I've gotten -perfect- scores on both of the discussion boards so far, which is...a huge blessing. I've even gotten some brief, positive, written feedback from the instructor, which is unexpected and (honestly...) makes me feel better about stuff, in general.
My parents are kind to me. Because of Christ's work in my life, I'm increasingly kind to them, and I appreciate them, too. The small town pariah stuff continues, but it beats jail, prison, poverty, state hospital, group home, etc. Don't get me wrong; I'm not "living large" or anything (LOL), but I don't consider my life right now bona fide poverty...I have what I need and then some, by God's grace.
Tonight, its chinese take out. Delicious, once in a blue moon treat kinda thing. Small things...often make all the difference in the world.
I Praise God for His goodness!
