All's well that ends well

Today Nath and I went on one of our regular road trips to the eye doctors. The only reason I can stand it is the fact that Nath doesn't mind it so much any more....the fear is nearly all gone for him. I still cry at least once before going and always on the way home. There have been people I wanted to visit all year but I just couldn't do it today. The routine of "go in, have a play, see the doctors, who have some cool machines (a far cry from the old school “peer into my eye now, dear” freak-you-out-forever-type)and great tricks on engaging kids, maybe a few stink things and get out of there and go to McDs where we have a chat about it all and a run around... mostly a big reward for being so brave"....helps me, too.

We all have parts of us that need "fixing". Most we have hidden away until judgement day, or if we are brave enough to face life honestly, at an inconvenient "I don't think I can go through this I'm sure I'm being skinned alive" time. Childhood and Motherhood seems like the best opportunities to get these parts of us "fixed" or ready for future use, I think! When everything is new, we are most vulnerable and when we dream the most.

When they say about future operations "we have never had a 100% accurate result" I think about how the earth is positioned perfectly, so we are not too hot, and not too cold....how so much of creation shows that there is a place and time for everything....

Now, I'm all done with Philisophical and Serious posts. Keep to the journal I think! Next post will be some PHOTOS! Did I mention there is a circus 200m from our house, which means, a huge tent, an elephant and his friends are here on holiday for a week!!!! Many local children have been seen making trumpet noises and walking arms waving....yes, yes, small town and I LOVE IT!
