Whenever nature makes a seed,
it gives it all that it will need
to grow into its ultimate fruition.
If life gives you a heart's desire,
remember, all that you require
lies deep within, so trust your intuition.

Intuition. That feeling that tells you that something is so when others doubt. My intuition tells me a lot of things but I dare not trust it. I've stuck my neck out a lot where my intuition is concerned and come up empty. But maybe it was because the timing wasn't right. Who knows? The question these days is, what am I willing to risk?

I'll tell you some things I am willing to do. I took the day off to get Mom's furniture off of her front porch and off the curb. Barry helped tremendously. We got it loaded up in my truck and covered it with two king size sheets. It cost less than $4 to dump it. If we'd known that we could have done it during Christmas break.

I found some more books on CD. They were $5 at Walgreen's. I bought them for the classroom.

I'm going to take one of Linda's suggestions for my income taxes and cross my fingers.

I'm not going to keep the truck. At the end of this month I'm turning it in.

What I'm not willing to risk is my heart right now. I will not do all the footwork. I want the other person to meet me half way. If the person is lacking in willingness, I will walk away.

Nefertiti is in a bad way. I'm not sure what's going on but it sounds pretty bad. Her phone has been disconnected. She had to choose between paying her car note and the telephone. I know that there is more going on because she asked me to contact her sponsor and two women from her church. I called one of the women from the church. That woman was going to contact the other lady. I called her sponsor and spoke briefly. I've sent out prayer requests for Elyce. She's been through so much already. I hate for her to go through hell again. Her situation is part of the reason I am not so anxious to get back out there in the dating world.

Thelma is okay. She sounded stronger today when I spoke to her. Her pain medication knocks her out so she spends a lot of time sleeping.

I'm humbled by the response from the on-line group to my topics so far. The response has exceeded anything I would have imagined. I've gained some more friends from this group. I really wish that I could go to the International Convention in July. I'd love to meet some of these people.
