Heart to Heart

The other night, for the first time in well over a year, my son & I had a good heart-to-heart talk before bed.  He's worried about passing summer school.  I tried my best to encourage him & show that I was trying to understand him.  I was just glad we had that talk.  He even asked how things were going with settling up things with my aunt (paperwork as well as emotional).  Big step toward empathizing for him!
Received a couple boxes from my aunt's work today of her personal things.  Mostly junk.  But I did see her Insurance designation, which is 100% of the friend.  No one else.  That, coupled with the realization that I do have her computers, stories, and the silverware, makes me not as angry.  After all, this was her intention & it's important to honor that, whether or not I agree with it.  Plus, value-wise, what I received from her is probably easily worth the $ value of interring her.  Not that I'm selling, but I guess, in a way, it evens out.  Just wish I wasn't further in debt is all!
Also liked DS's journal entry the other day, about "finding ourselves" and how we are who we make ourselves out to be.  I've been kind of lazy lately & barking up the wrong trees, so I need to get back on the right track!
Haven't been able to excercise because 1-too hot & humid & 2-strained my back at work, moving a bunch of boxes to archive.
