This was a hard week. I don't like to talk about my family, because we are trying to land on our feet. We will get there, but it can scare people (or, at least has in the past). The point is knowing that Heavenly Father is in charge.
With that in mind, I am striving to have and keep the balance, of putting first things first (Covey, Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, 1988) accomplishing the most important-leaving and having both faith in and trust in the Lord, that all will work out (with all we can do, 2 Ne. 25:23) in the way He would have it.
Alida and I were able to get together this morning to work on EcoMaps. I enjoyed the Angelino worksheet, because the Angelino family reminds me of a family that "adopted" me in after my mission (to be 2nd oldest of 9 instead of the youngest, latchkey-by 5 to 6 years). The format and questions really helped to flesh out Alida and my conversation we had about our families. It was also natural to problem-solve, encourage, and mention supports that I happened to be familiar with, in areas in which they will be going or living.
"I am Sam" very difficult to watch, and my daughter and I needed to switch it off, when the gal started physically hitting on him. (I think we can picture something similar happening to Eli, and we are not quite ready for that yet-and I feel that I ran out of time-for a weekend, without the kids).
I would like to pursue BYU Masters in SP. Ed., considering if I will be accepted as well as the impact and affect upon my kids.-https://gradstudies.byu.edu/program/special-education-ms
Quote: "What is the quality of the relationship?" Friday's 1/26/18 class lecture, Sis. Swenson. I could go off on this for hours, the point is in the importance of reflecting, realizing how to strengthen (sometimes, where to cut), and making sure that the whole and a nurturing environment are there.
