Amy E's Journal

Been busy the past two weeks. Working a good bit. My kids have been missed school a few days with snow. The church class that I'm doing is still going well. I get it. I've been in therapy long enough that I know myself pretty well. I've been able to speak to each topic that has been presented to us. Last week, the other participants asked how I'm so self aware. I didn't tell them that the therapy is the reason. I am able to hear what someone else is saying and what may help them to get a step beyond. I'm really the only one willing to share where I am struggling. I figure, what the hell. I'm not going to get as much out of it, if I don't give to it.

The priest has mentioned many times that he has forgiven his father. I have asked to meet with him regarding forgiveness. I figure if someone has been able to do it, then I want to learn from them. I think if I asked 10 people what forgivenss is, I'd get 10 different answers. There are many times when I think I'm there, that I have forgiven him. He would find that statement ridiculous. He feels he hasn't done anything that needs forgiving. Anyway, it wouldn't have anything to do with him. So, I'll meet with the priest on Friday.
