"I want to get rid of my bad feelings."

Vidalia just told me that, but first she told me this...

"It's my action to get rid of my bad feelings and bring in my nice nice feelings."

The she stated,

"I want to get rid of my bad feelings."

Then she told me,

"But I still get angry at myself."

I'm glad to hear her say some of this.  Part of me wants to know how much of what she's saying she understands...

Dream Sharing

I want to capture here a pleasant exchange that Melissa, Vidalia, and I just had waking up. Vidalia's first words out of her mouth today were "But he's in his bumbo!" She denied dreaming about someone in a bumbo.
        My dream was that the Forensics unit of the Utah State Hospital was an oil rig in the ocean, far from any land. It was organized into four pillars, all closely connected. The very bottom decks belonged to the patients; the rooms were less than tidy. Patients did basic jobs for about 5-20 hours a week including vacuuming, serving food, cleaning tables, etc. much like they do in real life. Finally, in the middle decks there were bars that patients had access to all times of the day; they could roam around the oil rig freely. One even had a dog. Interesting dream.
        Vidalia's other dreams were that a caterpillar went in the water and opened his eyes underwater; he was very comfortable in the water. She also dreamt that lots and lots of friends came over to play. They were nice to her and then they went home. Then more friends came to visit and they were also nice to her.              It was a pleasant exchange!

In just a few hours Melissa and I will start our first mentoring session with Strongbrook. We are excited for the potential for growth and for shedding false beliefs of doubt and fear that hold us back and replacing them with better, healthier beliefs!

"I'm Melissa!"

Vidalia has started wearing my clothes all. the. time.  She gets dressed and then comes and shows me and says, "Hi!  I'm Melissa!"

Hand of The Lord

We've been frequently asking around the dinner table how we have seen the hand of The Lord in our lives that day.  This is what Vidalia said today,

"I just saw God not the hand of The Lord today.  And I like Jesus Christ, too.  Do you, too?"
