More Rambling

I don't have a specific thing to cover today, just some rambling thinking. Weather has been awesome with lots of snow but crazy at the same time. We went sledding a couple of times. I was nervous about Brandy getting hurt in the actual process of sledding. But we decided we were not going to keep her in a bubble. As safely as we could we took her. The funny thing is her most dangerous fall was due to me falling as I was holding her hand while we were walking from one sledding area to the other. Alli had reminded me that we needn't worry as we had covered Brandy in prayer and just think about all the fretting I did. In the grand scheme of things we can take precautions and not fret. If something is going to happen it will happen regardless of how much or how little we fret. Fretting is a waste of energy. When will I accept that and stop?

After that fall my wrist hurt - was real tender and I just thought I had bruised it. Yesterday I took a nasty fall - I don't recommend trying to tromp through fresh snow in moccasins - and hurt the wrist even more. Went to ER - xrays show all is ok BUT there is a bone they can't see. They say it is under the Snuff Bucket on the side of your wrist and that if it's broke, obviously, it will hurt. So they are treating this as a break. It hurts. Its an inconvenience. Its annoying. I am thinking there is a lesson in here somewhere but I have yet to find it. LOL.

I am reading another Norman Vincent Peale book - can't remember the title of this one...The Power of Positive something...It's all about moving from believing something to internalizing this belief. It's one thing to believe something, and a whole other thing to accept it, to internalize it. I am not there yet. That's frustrating as well.

Okay, those are my thoughts for today.

Until next time.
