It's been a long short odd hard sweet week - passsed without seeming to. Here we are at Shabbat again, the dishes washed, K.K. asleep on the couch between dance classes, Ruth and Chris and Liam in their rooms, Bob and I under quilts, both typing away. He seems well, and I feel less scared about his going back to Corpus and being alone - believing the Coumadin is working and he will be fine. He hasn't seen his class since before winter break, so Tuesday morning will be odd. I'm glad he has a four day work week going back.

Ruth started a newq tradition at dinner tonight - sharing our answers to questions from a book of "big questions". Pur three questions tonight, and I was thrilled K.K> participated in sharing answers, were
If you could ask God for one favor for yourself what would you ask for?
If you could ask for one change for all the souls of the world what would you ask?
What was a time when you felt spiritually repressed?
I'll share answers tomorrow. Now Bob is about to turn off the light.

Victoria, I look forward to your answers to these questions.

I decided to share mine with you:

1. If you could ask God for one favor for yourself what would you ask for?

Please, God, give me the ability to accept what I cannot change.

2. If you could ask for one change for all the souls of the world what would you ask?

I would ask that everyone be able to accept and embrace diversity and individual beliefs and especially not to kill each other over differences.


2. What was a time when you felt spiritually repressed?

I am not sure that I understand what is meant by this question. If I understand correctly, I guess a last time I would feel spiritually repressed would be when I felt all alone in some of my beliefs, that no one present felt as I did. And it was easier just to be quiet than to speak up with a minority voice.
