Getting caught up

I have a grandson:
He was born on October 2nd, 2010. Beautiful, perfect, good smelling, warm, adorable head to toe.

I was laid off August 5th, 2010.

I am still waking up before dawn, sometimes as early as 3am. Various things wake me:
Clowns that will eat me, dreams, wishful dreams, frustrations, MSG, lack of estrogen, fear, being unemployed, being unfulfilled.

We are still going to therapy. Don is still not talking, although big strides have been made in casual comments and interrogative comments he makes. Let me tell you, that is huge.

I am completely intolerant to Dairy protein of any sort.
I am not eating HFCS anymore.

I am meditating more. My favorite meditation is prayer.
Prayer anytime I hear a siren, prayer when ever I feel sadness, prayer when I catch myself in a sinful thought.
And, my favorite, a 2 syllable meditation:
in the inhale: "JE"
on the exhale: "SUS"

My daughter is home-schooled this year. That is working remarkably well.

***Starting my life @ 50!!!
**STAGE 1**I am taking a "LIFE COACH" training program,(17 weeks) I am thrilled about it. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO LIVING A LIFE EMPOWERED. Sorry if that was too loud, but I AM excited about it.

**STAGE 2**I am taking another workshop beginning in the spring, a facilitator training program on expressive arts (year long). I am very excited about that. It is something I have always seen myself doing when I retired anyway, but now, WOW, I actually get to do it.

**TASTE**I am also doing a (one day) workshop to explore voice-over work. I have always been told I have a good voice.....Hmmm.

**STAGE 3**Hawthorn University offers an online Nutritional Consultant training program(year long). Will sign up for this one after my Life Coach program is complete and I have begun my arts series.

5:25am, Don is up.
Ciao for Niao.
