That describes me right now. Gosh...I put off charting this month thinking "I'll get to it" and now two weeks later.... I never got to it and heck...do you think I can remember the beginning of my cycle? Nope...so I guess I'm on a charting break too. Eventhough we are not TTC'ing we are not avoiding either so we agreed that I would still chart...just to keep tabs on what my cycle is doing...and if anything strange is happening....I have it charted to to refer to it. Oh well...I never thought I wouldn't do it...but since I procrastinate....I guess this month is a flop. Speaking of charting changes...I've been seeing my usual p type cm...which is good however yesterday I noticed a pinkish tinge to it...I was thinking..hmmm...what does that mean? I'm guessing O day will be sometime this weekend. hmmmm...so I will keep my eye on that.
I had a good day yesterday. I went to daily mass and the messages the priest gave was so good. One message was "Be joyful in the Lord". Two was "Be more trusting in the Lord" and three was "Worship Him". All three are things I need to do. With IF it's hard to be joyful but it's something I've been working on. God is good and I know He loves me....so I'm going to write those three things on a card and place it by my desk....with my list of projects that are due for school...so I can remember all that I have to do. It's all good!!!
Also, On a last thought...in the Magnificat for yesterday, Tues, Oct 20th.. the beginning of this passage hit home (page 289 for those of you that have Oct's issue)...."The easiest way to keep your peace of heart is to accept everything as coming directly from the hands of God who loves you. If you do this, any pain or persecution, anything which you find difficult to accept will be transformed into a source of joy, happiness and peace......" Ah ha....this ties in with what the priest said. So the more I accept...joy, happiness and peace will follow. It's true...I have found some peace...and I do feel more joyful. Like with everything else...it's something to practice and and the more you do it...the better you feel. Being joyful about IF and childlessness is very difficult hard to do but with lots of practice and prayer...it can be done.
Not much else going on (Thank God!)......I have lots to do (as in fall cleaning/organizing/homework, etc) however since I procrastinate...I've been putting it off. I didn't get a call to sub today and my dr's appt had to be rescheduled (dr is sick)...so God is giving me a chance to catch up..okay...time to work..I can't always use this blog as a procratinating excuse can I???? Many blessings to all of you!!!!
Also,...Riding horses has been going well. I feel so blessed to have a friend who is willing to share her horses with me! Soon winter will be upon us and I won't be able to ride(my friend does not have an indoor arena). :(
i saw that meditation in the magnificat too! my mother in law even called over and told us to read it :)
