Each pregnancy and delivery is different, and problems may arise.
If complications occur, providers may assist by monitoring the situation closely and intervening, as necessary.
Some of the more common complications are:1,2
- Labor that does not progress. Sometimes contractions weaken, the cervix does not dilate enough or in a timely manner, or the infant's descent in the birth canal does not proceed smoothly. If labor is not progressing, a health care provider may give the woman medications to increase contractions and speed up labor, or the woman may need a cesarean delivery.3
- Perineal tears. A woman's vagina and the surrounding tissues are likely to tear during the delivery process. Sometimes these tears heal on their own. If a tear is more serious or the woman has had an episiotomy (a surgical cut between the vagina and anus), her provider will help repair the tear using stitches.4,5
- Problems with the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord may get caught on an arm or leg as the infant travels through the birth canal. Typically, a provider intervenes if the cord becomes wrapped around the infant's neck, is compressed, or comes out before the infant.5
- Abnormal heart rate of the baby. Many times, an abnormal heart rate during labor does not mean that there is a problem. A health care provider will likely ask the woman to switch positions to help the infant get more blood flow. In certain instances, such as when test results show a larger problem, delivery might have to happen right away. In this situation, the woman is more likely to need an emergency cesarean delivery, or the health care provider may need to do an episiotomy to widen the vaginal opening for delivery.6
- Water breaking early. Labor usually starts on its own within 24 hours of the woman's water breaking. If not, and if the pregnancy is at or near term, the provider will likely induce labor. If a pregnant woman's water breaks before 34 weeks of pregnancy, the woman will be monitored in the hospital. Infection can become a major concern if the woman's water breaks early and labor does not begin on its own.7,8
- Perinatal asphyxia. This condition occurs when the fetus does not get enough oxygen in the uterus or the infant does not get enough oxygen during labor or delivery or just after birth.3,4
- Shoulder dystocia. In this situation, the infant's head has come out of the vagina, but one of the shoulders becomes stuck.5
- Excessive bleeding. If delivery results in tears to the uterus, or if the uterus does not contract to deliver the placenta, heavy bleeding can result. Worldwide, such bleeding is a leading cause of maternal death.9 NICHD has supported studies to investigate the use of misoprostol to reduce bleeding, especially in resource-poor settings.
Delivery may also require a provider's special attention when the pregnancy lasts more than 42 weeks, when the woman had a C-section in a previous pregnancy, or when she is older than a certain age.

In a case of the injury that really wasn't, Mets fans can hold their panic off just a little bit longer. Jonathon Niese, sidelined yesterday with what was alternately described as dead-arm, triceps soreness, and shoulder fatigue, will resume throwing.
From ESPNNY's blog:
An MRI of New York Mets left-hander Jonathon Niese's pitching shoulder has come back "clean," and the southpaw will resume throwing within a couple of days, manager Terry Collins said.
Niese had been dispatched to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan on Wednesday after complaining of shoulder discomfort. He told ESPNNewYork.com before departing that the exam primarily was for peace of mind considering he missed two months last season with a partially torn rotator cuff.Rubin went on to note that Niese was still penciled in to start on Opening Day.
So, we can all take a deep breath and relax. The catastrophic turn for the worse that is almost assuredly coming has not happened yet.

Mozilla proposes Firefox Do Not Track feature to boost browser privacy
The proposal, which transmits a special HTTP header to websites, may be supported in future versions of Firefox, but in order for it to fully work, websites must also support the feature.
Mozilla is proposing a new feature that enables users of its Firefox browser to opt out of online behavioral advertising.
Called "Do Not Track," the proposed browser preference is being considered for future releases of Firefox. It will broadcast a user's desire to opt out of third-party advertising tracking by transmitting a Do Not Track HTTP header with every page view in Firefox.
In a blog post, Alex Fowler, global privacy and public policy Leader at Mozilla, wrote that the Do Not Track HTTP header proposal is the best way to provide people additional privacy when visiting websites.
Alex Fowlerglobal privacy and public policy leader, Mozilla Corp.
"We believe the header-based approach has the potential to be better for the Web in the long run because it is a clearer and more universal opt-out mechanism than cookies or blacklists," Fowler wrote.
The proposed browser preference comes with one caveat: In order to fully work, it requires websites to support the feature in the HTTP header. Mozilla issued the browser add-on Universal Behavioral Advertising Opt-out as a proof of concept demo.
Fowler wrote that the header technique is less complex to use and more persistent than cookie-based privacy solutions and "it doesn't rely on user's finding and loading lists of ad networks and advertisers to work," he wrote. With nearly 100 behavioral advertising companies, opting out of each one is too difficult for users.
In addition, Fowler said Mozilla is working to standardize the header-based privacy feature across the industry. "We ask that sites and advertisers join with us to recognize this new header and honor people's privacy choices just as they are with opt-outs for [online behavioral advertising]," he wrote.
Users can currently block tracking cookies in browsers, but it can cause some websites to malfunction and some online advertising networks have found other ways to track visits. A 2009 online browsing privacy study, conducted by researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and AT&T Labs Inc., highlighted a method by which third-party advertisers could couple a person's identity with the cookies in their browser by using data provided by social networking websites, such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Privacy advocates have also been pushing for more ways to block advertising networks and search engines from tracking a person's browsing session. The issue has caught the ear of the Federal Trade Commission, which has called for a new mechanism to enable users to opt out of online behavioral advertising.
For example, a Firefox add-on called GoogleSharing.net can be used to prevent search engine giant Google from tracking searches and websites a person visits.

M80 Upgrade Nears Completion
Friday, 26 August 2011
The new M80 Stepps to Haggs dual carriageway is now open to the public after just under three years of construction. The final commissioning of the scheme is due for September / October 2011.
The £320m Transport Scotland project, a joint venture between Bilfinger Berger, Graham Construction and Farrans Construction (HMC) connects an 18km stretch between Stirling and Glasgow which is one of the busiest road corridors in Scotland. The Scottish Government expects the new M80 link to reduce peak journey times by up to 40 per cent between Stepps and Haggs.
Grontmij is the lead designer to the Highway Management Contractors (HMC). The scheme involved 10km of online widening and 8km of offline new motorway.
It now completes the strategic road network between the M73, the M80 and M876. This includes the Mollinsburn Interchange upgrade with the M73, which was a well-known bottleneck for commuter traffic into Glasgow.
The project is part of a massive infrastructure investment in Scotland's transport network which includes the Forth Replacement Crossing, M74 Completion project, a new rail link between Airdrie and Bathgate, major improvements to the railway between Edinburgh and Glasgow and further improvements to the central Scotland motorway network.
?Iain Scott, director of transportation, Grontmij said: "Congestion has been a major issue for the communities living in these areas so the opening of this new dual carriageway cannot have come soon enough for them.
"There have been a number of challenges to overcome during the project with poor existing road alignment and difficult ground conditions but the strength of expertise in our team has enabled us to meet the brief, deliver the project on time and I look forward to seeing the project fully completed."

Latin: Astragalus membranaceus
Family: Fabaceae
Parts Used: Roots
Taste/Energetics: Sweet, moistening, slightly warming
Properties: Tonic, adaptogenic, immunomodulating, antimicrobial, diuretic, cardiotonic, anti-tumoral.
Actions: This is one of the gentlest tonic "adaptogens" available to us. Astragalus is traditionally commonly added to soups and congees as a way of encouraging greater nourishment and sustenance via the diet and is the main way I recommend taking it.
Astragalus has a special affinity for improving immune function and for those who appear short of breath with common lung complaints. It improves the "wei qi", a term for the energy that protects pathogens from entering and causing illness. Astragalus also improves digestive functioning by moistening and strengthening absorption.
It is a deeply helpful herb for those who feel run down, exhausted, depressed from being overstressed and overtaxed. It improves kidney function by improving metabolism and encouraging diuresis. Also helpful for inhibiting tumor growth.
Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy warns against using this herb when the body is already being attacked pathogenically. But numerous Western herbalists I know as well as myself will offer this herb as part of bone broth and soups with good effect.
Dose: As I said, I primarily suggest taking this herb whole as a supplement to bone broths and soups. 5-15 grams a day. It is sold in compressed root form in a way that looks like tongue dispenser sticks. Quality varies greatly depending on the provenance and length of time astragalus was grown.
Tincture: 2-5 ml, 2 times a day
Tea/broths: I generally don't use astragalus in teas (preferring them in soups and broths) but if I do I will generally add astragalus to a larger formula. So those astragalus "tongue depressors" can weigh anywhere from 1-5 grams. This is a gentle herb that is hard to overdo but generally take about 3-4 of these astragalus compressed roots and add them to a pint of water and decoct them for 30 minutes to an hour.
Powder: 1-2 teaspoons (3-6 grams) 3 times a day
Contraindications: Avoid when a cold or the flu is coming on. Avoid when taking immunomodulating drugs.

Congrats Ally, Class of 2018!
I met Ally while photographing the wedding of one of her family members and was so inspired when I took a photograph of her singing in the loft of the Octagon Barn that I couldn't wait to show her! (I've included that pic at the bottom). She contacted me after the wedding and we set up a winter senior photo session. What a day it turned out to be! The forecast was calling for freezing rain all morning, and then a Winter Storm Warning was in effect for the evening. We decided to chance it... and it turned out to be the perfect amount of snow with a nice break in the weather! We still had to deal with freezing temps and some harsh wind, but it worked out perfectly to do part of the session indoors first and then brave the cold. Totally worth it! Keep reading to see my favorite photographs from her session.
This girl has been in numerous performances with the Thumb Area Community Theatre; but not only does she enjoying singing & acting... she's also into snowboarding!
Don't worry, we didn't keep her outside all day!! We actually started out with some indoor shots at my home studio and rustic barn!
In between sessions we stopped at Evergreen's Coffee Shop located inside the Merge Art Studio & Gallery here in Oxford, MI. We ordered some warm drinks and then were offered a tour of their amazing studios. What a neat opportunity! Shout out to their awesome management team who allowed us to take some extra photos in their space!
Ally, it's been so great to get to know you and I'm so impressed with your talents, determination, and shining beauty! I'm sure your family is super proud of everything you've accomplished already and I know there are great things in store for your future! Thanks for sharing this fun & freezing photo adventure with me!

Kenyon, Minnesota
Summary of Operation
■ 36-goat dairy herd rotationally grazed on eight acres
■ Chevre, soft-ripened cheese, low-salt feta
■ Pasture and mixed alfalfa hay on some 10 acres
■ Bed & breakfast "educational farm retreat" Problem Addressed
Inadequate labor. Mary Doerr's goat cheese found such a ready market in the food co-ops, restaurants and farmers markets of the Twin Cities area that the operation grew to a level she — and the farm itself — could no longer handle. She took a year off and returned to scale back the dairy, develop part of her house as a farm guest retreat and create more balance in her life.
Mary Doerr's 20-acre farm is located in rolling, fertile farmland about an hour south of the Twin Cities. When she and a partner first bought the farm in 1986, their original vision was to raise organic vegetables and fruit. A few months after their arrival, Doerr acquired three pregnant goats. The goats, called does, gave birth, or "kidded" the following May. Doerr soon realized that they needed to learn to do something with the considerable quantity of milk besides drink it. She and her partner began making cheese.
Doerr says the name she chose for the farm, "Dancing Winds Farm," reflects her desire to find a friendly and congenial spirit, like the frolic and play of happy goats, in the almost constant winds of the open prairie.
Focal Point of Operation — Scaling back and adding value
Doerr first learned how to make fresh chevre by reading books on cheesemaking and by trial and error. "I fed a lot of mistakes to the pigs" that she raised in some years for her own consumption, "but I gradually worked out how to produce commercial quantities of a cheese I liked."
She took a sample to the co-op distributor who was buying some of their vegetables. The buyer liked the cheese and offered to take all they could make.
The following spring, a barn fire nearly wiped out the young operation. They rebuilt, replacing the old three-story, 60 by 100-foot barn with a smaller barn more suitable for goats, along with a cheese room. As they had been advised, they involved their dairy inspector in the design process.
"We got both good advice and a more efficient approval process," Doerr says. They received a Grade A dairy license. The high sanitation grade — required for fluid milk but not cheese-making — turned out to be good for marketing.
They took advantage of bargain-basement prices for used equipment they found after corporations or developers bought out small dairy farms. "There was lots of good stainless steel equipment going for a song," Doerr says. "We bought vat pasteurizers, a bulk tank, sinks and counters. We were able to outfit the cheese room for a miniscule amount."
She further pursued her education as a cheesemaker by visiting a goat cheese dairy in Wisconsin, and by taking Wisconsin's intensive, five-day cheese-making licensing class, even though Minnesota had no licensing requirement. The barn was finished in June, the operation was up and running in August, and by December 1987, the kinks were out. The cheese made its debut on the market.
By 1992, Dancing Winds Farm was selling chevre to all 14 Twin Cities food co-ops, eight restaurants and both Twin Cities farmers markets. The partnership had dissolved and Doerr was now a sole proprietor with eight part-time helpers. They were milking 38 goats and making 400 pounds of cheese a week in the 20 feet by 20 feet cheese room. They were milking year-round and buying half the milk they needed off the farm.
"By the fall of 1994, I was burned out," Doerr recalls. "I questioned the quality of life, becoming a slave to a crazy schedule."
She also questioned the environmental impacts of producing that much. The operation needed to dispose of whey, a natural byproduct heavy with nutrients. When she was producing a lot of cheese, the quantity of whey became too much to land-spread or feed to the pigs. Doerr also was concerned about the quality of the milk she bought offfarm.
Doerr took a year's sabbatical in 1995 to reassess the business. She stopped breeding the goats and had two people take care of the herd while she traveled and tried to figure out what she wanted. She also worked in a bakery and fixed up the part of the house that would eventually become the bed-and-breakfast's guest quarters. The original homestead of a quarter section of land, the farm included a picturesque, many-gabled house, built in 1896 with additions in 1910 and 1930.
After that year, "I realized that being my own boss still appealed to me, that I loved goats and enjoyed making cheese, but the size had gotten out of scale," she says.
She sold off part of the herd, holding on to her 12 best does. She decided she would only sell direct to consumers and through just one farmers market. She switched to seasonal milking. She stopped buying milk and was able to recycle the reduced quantities of whey by feeding it to the pigs or spreading it on the pasture.
Economics and Profitability Scaling back has not reduced the operation's profitability. "Selling direct is a win-win situation for both you and the consumer, as well as a satisfying relationship," Doerr says. "I had been wholesaling for $4 a pound, but I could retail for $16 a pound. I could make more money making 100 pounds a week than I had on 400 pounds, because I wasn't buying milk."
Seasonal milking also made economic sense because winter production is both more expensive and more likely to promote udder complications. Specialty cheese sales slack off after New Year's Day and pick up again at Valentine's Day. Now she milks to just before Christmas, kids the first week or two of March, then makes cheese April through December. This schedule allows her to undertake international projects for Land o' Lakes, giving her both supplemental income and more balance in her life.
As she scaled back the dairy, the new "educational farm retreat," as the state of Minnesota calls it, was taking shape. She returned it to its original state, which was a two-family house, with one half as a guest
quarters. The change created another opportunity to add value to existing resources — bringing guests willing to pay to stay at a working farm.
For its first three years, the guesthouse operated at a loss. Now, she is finishing the last capital improvement in her plan — a picturesque farm pond. The operation is hitting its stride and beginning to provide significant income. Doerr charges $289 for a two-night weekend stay, usually to young families. In 2000, she rented the quarters for 180 nights, and even turned away a few would-be guests when she wanted a break from hosting duties. Doerr always provides breakfast featuring milk and cheese from the farm, and eggs, preserves and bread from neighboring farms.
"They can be as private or as sociable as they please," Doerr says of her guests. "They can become involved in farm activities if they want to and have a peaceful experience in the country on a pleasant farm."
Environmental Benefits The farm has much to show in terms of sustainable production. Her 10-acre hay field, originally planted in alfalfa, now contains a mix of other plants as well. Bluegrass, quack grass and timothy have crept in; rye, birds-foot trefoil and clover have been interseed-ed. Doerr's fields have been in continuous forage for 12 years, with only one disking in 1993 to put in oats and a pasture mix.
"My neighbors would say it is time to plow it up," Doerr says, "but the organic matter is still very high, and it's producing quality forage, with diversity and a minimum of compaction."
In the pasture she practices rotational grazing, an ideal system for goats. She has 21 very small paddocks divided with electro-netting, and rotates the animals daily in a three-week rotation. "They want diversity of forage, though you can get great production on straight alfalfa," she says. "They actually like thistles and cockleburs!"
Her farmland could be certified as organic, but the feed she currently uses is not organic. In the early years, she was able to acquire organic grain, but lost her storage facilities when the local feed dealership changed hands. Recently acquiring a bulk bin now makes creating and storing a custom mix a possibility.
Her veterinary care emphasizes natural remedies and limited use of antibiotics. She strengthens the goats' immune systems with vitamin therapies and gives antibiotics only for high fevers and life-threatening illnesses. For 10 years, she was able to control internal parasites with natural wormers, garlic oil capsules and wormwood powder, testing the herd each spring. In the last few years, as the worm load has increased, she has had to turn to chemical wormers. She now tests and worms the does as needed, perhaps twice a year.
Community and Quality of Life Benefits Doerr is finding increasing satisfaction in her role as host and a gentle spokesperson for sustainable agriculture. Her "educational farm retreat" is a perfect opportunity to both show and tell her visitors, often from non-farming backgrounds, what sustainable agriculture is about. By buying and featuring products from local producers at the guest quarters, she introduces non-farmers to local agriculture.
After 15 years in operation, she also has something to show her farming neighbors and visitors, including the overseas producers she occasionally hosts for Land o'Lakes.
"My neighbors go out of their way to tell me they are using less chemicals now," she says.
"Like me, they are trying to get to a less costly way of farming."
Producers wanting to try alternatives should be prepared to buck the status quo, Doerr says. They may get some strange stares from their neighbors, but the uniqueness of a new venture will likely pay off.
"There's a strong community pressure to have your farm look a certain way — you're not a successful farmer unless you have clean fields and the newest equipment," Doerr says. "Look at the options, and let new ideas in. You have to break away from the pack somehow."
She has a message for new farmers as well: "Start small, and, if at all possible, apprentice in many different types of farms before you start. I got into this too fast. It takes some discipline to take it slow, but you're better off in the long run."
As she looks to the future, Doerr continues to seek balance in her life. She'd like to concentrate on the bed-and-breakfast and on making the soft-ripened cheese, but let go of some of the physical work of farming.
Her operation will remain "holistic," with every piece important to the whole. For example, the guesthouse wouldn't be nearly as successful if the farm were not a genuine working dairy.

There are many reasons to carry out home improvements. The important point is to make sure you are doing it for the right reason for you.
1. Safety.
Safety should always be your first concern. If your wiring is too old or faulty, or your ceiling looks like it might fall in, those jobs must be your priority.
2. Improve your enjoyment of your home.
Any kind of home improvement--new floors, a new bathroom, or a room addition--can give an enormous amount of satisfaction and improve your enjoyment of your home. Your home should be a place where you can relax and feel comfortable, so home improvements that help you to do that are usually worthwhile. You may not get your money back when you sell the property, but that isn't the point. If you intend to stay put in your home for a while, you should make sure it is a home you like be in. Having said that, it is important not to over-stretch your finances--there's no point sitting in your beautiful new kitchen worrying about how you're going to pay for it.
3. Get a better return on your investment.
If you are planning to sell your home in the near future, you should think carefully before carrying out any home improvement projects. Some projects can help sell your home, but don't expect to recoup your costs completely through a higher sales price. Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs Value Report 2009-10 shows that very few home improvement projects gave homeowners a return of 100 percent or more against the cost of their home improvement projects. However, these statistics do not take into account the effect that certain home improvements may have on your ability to sell your home, particularly curb appeal.
4. Accommodate lifestyle needs.
You may need to make your home more accessible for a member of the family with a disability, or adapt it for easier living in your senior years, or perhaps you need office space to enable you to work from home, or an extra bedroom for a growing family. In these situations, you need to consider your finances. You could save money by moving to a new home that better fits your needs. A room addition is usually cheaper than moving, especially when you consider costs such as legal fees and moving costs. On the other hand, it can be expensive to overhaul a house to accommodate the needs of a person using a wheelchair, so finding a house that is already adapted could be cheaper. You may be able to get help with the costs of adapting your home or finding a disabled accessible home. The Housing section of the Disability.gov website provides information about Accessible & Affordable Housing Options.
With the appropriate level of research and planning, you can have the right kind of home improvement for you.

If You Spot A Child With One Of These Tell-tell Signs…take note.
Someone within your proximity may be sexually abusing a child and you don't even know it. There are tell-tell signs that you can help identify such a grievous act is taking place.
We will tell you what these signs are and how to counter them and help do your part in preventing and protecting a girl from sexual abuse.
Child sexual abuse is more serious than you think.
- One in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before the age of eighteen.
- The majority of the rape victims Ripples International has come across have happened when the child is below thirteen years.
- 75% of abuse cases are family members and additional 10% are acquaintances of the child.
- Nearly a third of girls and 18% of boys in Kenya suffer some form of sexual violence before they are 18, according to a study published in 2010 by the UN Children's Fund (Unicef).
First of all, we need to define what child sexual abuse is.
According to E Medicine Health Journal, child abuse is defined as "…a variety of harmful behaviors directed against children."
Child sexual abuse includes any activity that uses a child to create sexual gratification either in you or in others.
Do The Warning Signs Suggest Child Sexual Abuse?
Although the touching of children as a sign of affection and for hygiene is considered normal and necessary, there is a way to distinguish normal touching from child sexual abuse.
The key is the intention by the perpetrator to be sexually aroused by the activity or the intention to create sexual arousal in others.
It's important to note that the desire to use children in any way to create or gratify sexual arousal is a crime.
Unfortunately, there are people in society who take it too far and in the process abuse children, destroying their lives, education, social systems and resulting in a life full of torment, hate, and physiological disorders.
Therefore it can take many forms, from sexual abuse to pedophilia, physical abuse, child neglect, emotional trauma, and psychological abuse. The victims in this case – the child- is usually not in potion to speak out forcefully in the matter.
The girl child is usually the silent victim under the oppression of a elder male authority figure. These figures include the father, uncle, older male relative or in many cases a male teacher.
The instances of boy child undergoing sexual abuse from an elder female authority are not strange. However, the statistics of rising girl child abuse continue to rise,

- Refusing to let a child set any of his or her own limits; using teasing or belittling language to keep a child from setting a limit.
- Insisting on hugging, touching, kissing, tickling, wrestling with, or holding a child even when the child does not want this physical contact or attention.
- Turning to a child for emotional or physical comfort by sharing personal or private information or activities that are normally shared with adults.
- Frequently pointing out sexual images or telling inappropriate or suggestive jokes with children present.
- Exposing a child to adult sexual interactions without apparent concern.
- Having secret interactions with teens or children (e.g., games; sharing drugs, alcohol, or sexual material)
- Spending excessive time e-mailing, text-messaging, or calling a specific girl-child.
- Being overly interested in the sexuality of a particular child or teen (e.g., talks repeatedly about the child's developing body or interferes with normal teen dating)
- Insisting on or managing to spend unusual amounts of uninterrupted time alone with a child.
- Seeming "too good to be true" (e.g., frequently babysits different children for free, takes children on special outings alone, buys children gifts or gives them money for no apparent reason)
- Frequently walking in on children/teens in the bathroom.
- Allowing children or teens to consistently get away with inappropriate behaviors.
What Do You Do Now?
Now that you know, you need to pay keen attention any time a child exhibits any of these signs.
These warning signs suggest child sexual abuse.
If it's a child you know, use your wisdom and better judgment to approach the child and ask them if there is anything they would like to talk about. Ask them if they are afraid of anything and get them to gradually confide with you what's going on.
If you determine the matter to be a grave matter of sexual molestation, then don't react in anger. The child may mistake that to be a reaction against her.
We wrote an article about how to go about getting the child to open up. What you need to do at this point is ask the child if there is any older person at home they trust.
Then approach the person with the child and share the information with them and urge them to report the matter to the nearest Child Protection office for further investigation.
In case the child is not familiar to you, call your nearest Child Protection office, report the matter and ask them to investigate it further. If you are absolutely sure, then there is only one course of action. Report it to the Police! But be absolutely sure.
Remember, it could be happening right under your eyes.
It's better to be safe than sorry. Let's do our part in reducing the statistics of child sexual abuse in our community.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for July 2011.
I promised myself when I started this blog that I would keep it going for one year. I'm just past the halfway point and my interest in talking about problems is definitely flagging. It's not that I don't have problems, they are just the same ones and I don't know how many times I can tell myself to just get over it, that I need to work on letting things go, that I need to give myself a break. So if I'm going to keep this up, I need to figure out a different tack to take.
I think I am in a better place than I when I started this. I thought about going back to the beginning and revisiting some early posts for comparison but that seems like it's asking to recreate heartache and I have no interest in that. As I said, my problems are even starting to bore me, so doubling up talking about them surely isn't the way to go. Making a list of good things in a given day/week seems so forced and alien to me that the few experiments I've done with it were very unsatisfying. Still I doubt I can maintain this a dumping ground for my troubles and my drama so positivity seems the only direction to go. Maybe my best bet is to do what I set out to do, which is talk about things I"m not talking about anywhere else.
I've been reading a lot lately. This is my personal, classic escape and it's good one. Not only do books take me to place out side my troubled mind, but even the trashiest of novels gives me something new to think about. Based on limited research, I'd say that prolonged reading actually pulls me out of myself enough, over a period of time to leave in a new place at the end. It's not a cure per se, but if I am remembering correctly, it has boosted me out of some pretty low places. Also it seems to send my thinking to enough different places that I end up feeling more creative. And sometimes affects my dreams.
I finished the 7th Sookie Stackhouse book before bed last night (sidenote, reading does, unfortunately interfere with how much I sleep, as often I'd rather read than do ANYTHING else) and this morning I awoke from a dream in which I was the main character. Except in my dream there were no vampires, nothing supernatural, and my maybe gonna be my new man was Anderson Cooper, and that parts of Eric and Bill were played by (no shock here) Oak and Hawthorn. Okay brain, thanks for giving me a gay man as my dream ideal. No more guacamole before bed for you.
I also had the weirdest memory while reading earlier in the evening. Just a really clear memory of the entirety of The Monster at the End of This Book. The whole 'plot,' followed by a memory of getting that book out of the library multiple times when I couldn't have been more than six or seven. I remember pouring over the book, finishing it and starting it right over again. One reading of this book reveals the secret, that the monster Grover is so afraid of is just him, lovable, furry Grover. What spurred this memory? That all our monsters are only ourselves, or created ourselves or to be discovered in ourselves, or something not to be afraid of after all. What was I looking for, pouring over this book as a small child? Did it just tickle me that he was so silly to be wrong every time I read it? Is there a deeper philosophical means in the story?
There isn't much more lonely than being sick when you live alone. Ugh. I mean I'm sweaty and nasty and not fit for company, but still I wish there was someone who'd bring me water and make me soup and feel sorry for me. Bleh.
I went on my first date since Hawthorn and I broke up last night. It was fine. I mean it wasn't unpleasant or bad or anything. I didn't suffer in any way during it. But he held no real attraction for me and after the fact I liked him less and less the more I thought about it. It felt like there was some small measure of meanness inside him, buried under a façade of jollity. And he kept interrupting me, like I don't think I finished more than half the stories I told before he jumped in to tell something. But it's out of the way, it's done, and I guess it's a step in moving on.
And I think while talking about the date in advance I articulated where I am at with Hawthorn right now. I think I won't feel better until he tells me he made terrible, terrible mistake by leaving me and then we can shake hands and agree that it's best this way anyhow. I just want him to feel at least a little of the loss I feel. And no, I don't think he'll ever say that. I did point out recently to him that all the things I said about his choices and what he should be doing with his life and how we should have approached our relationship, things I said two years ago that all turned out to be true and I got very heartfelt, 'you were right and I was wrong,' so that was nice. He's apologized for essentially taking me down with him when he wasn't being aware enough about what he needed in life to recover from his own divorce. He's apologized for not taking my counsel on that topic when I offered it. But I'm still not sure he knows just how much he hurt me and I'm pretty sure I won't completely forgive him until he says I was the best thing that ever happened to him and he shouldn't have let me get away. Which he will surely never do.
Today's answer is to the question: What if I didn't have to apologize? What if I didn't have to apologize for being so hurt, so vulnerable, so open to love and so lost without it. What if I didn't have to apologize for needing so much time to myself, so much time to recover, so much space to heal? What if I didn't have to apologize for taking so long to find my place in a world I never expected to be in? What if I didn't have to apologize for being who I am?
If I made a mistake in all of this it was being to open to the possibilities of this world, of being too caring, too willing to give and receive love. I will not apologize for my mistakes here anymore. I will try and try to learn and grow and to still be that person, to be open to the possibilities the world offers, the good possibilities, even if the end result means another mistake to not be apologized for.
Hawthorn and I are back to being best friends which is to say hanging out, talking more openly and having a much more clearly defined only friends boundary. I'm still upset about it. I'm really trying to let it go and move on. I'm not even sure why I'm so upset. I mean, honestly he would have driven me crazy eventually. I can see clearly all the reasons it wouldn't work out between us in the long run. And yet, I'm still really grieving over that relationship. I'm not sure if starting to date again will help or not. I'm trying really hard not to just sit a dwell on my own sorrow over the whole thing.
I signed up for online dating (again) and have been futzing with it for about a week. I have been actively trying to convince myself otherwise, but really, I find it more upsetting than useful, so probably I'll shut it down again. I've conversed with some seemingly interesting people, I guess. But I can't even really get excited about going out with any of them And it feels more like unpleasant work to keep a conversation going than anything else.
I guess meeting someone else is the right step in getting past the Hawthorn thing? Even if it is only a rebound thing? I don't know. I feel like I dealt with the whole situation alright for most the week but today I find myself really weepy and upset about it again. I guess that I made it through more the 20 minutes with the online dating thing is progress, but I still burst into tears every time Hawthorn vaguely suggests that he might interested in casually seeing someone else in the future. Two steps forward, one step back, maybe?
The worst part is that I feel so frustrated and stonewalled by my own inability to deal with this. I really don't want to cry any more. I don't want to feel rejected and hurt. I want to move on. I really am trying to let go of it. I mean it seems like seven months should be a fair amount of time to heal myself, at least of this little bit of my problems. It seems no one has advice for me beyond being more active, going out and meeting people. And I am exercising a lot more, but I feel like I have enough energy(mentally and emotionally) to go to work, to manage my interactions with my family and to barely maintain my close long standing friendships. The idea of going out more, socializing more, just seems like a huge burden. But I don't want to be stuck here alone with my problems. The idea of finding something else to focus on, to think about, to be involved in is great but I just can't seem to get there. I kind of wish someone else would just take responsibility and tell me what to do. Give me a task to deal with each day and hold me accountable to moving forward. Though truthfully that seems like so much pressure that I would just crumble under it.
I need to remind myself that I have good days and bad days. The bad days seem farther apart and less frequent. I am progressing. Today's positivity: What if I didn't have to punish myself to get the lesson? I mean I'm pretty sure there's enough sadness and suffering int he world without me making more for myself, right? I will try and treat myself as kindly as I treat my friends when they are hurting. I am not going to ask what is wrong with me, because nothing is wrong with me. I cannot berate myself into feeling better. I will not bring myself down more by being angry with myself for feeling hurt. I will try to break the cycle of being hurt by things I can not control.
I feel yucky today. It's been a Monday for sure, already, even this early, and it's hot here. Like severe weather warning hot. Ugh. I have what feels like a blechy, blechy hangover. I suspect it's from crying so much in the last few days in the yucko heat. Last Thursday morning Hawthorn told me he was in agreement with me that we should just be a friends (in regards to my boundary setting of the past few weeks) and that he was going to start seeing other people, cue me falling into a wretched puddle. It felt like, well it felt like when we first broke up. I spent most of the weekend crying, meditating, talking to a few friends and having some fairly intense exchanges with Hawthorn. It's all wound down now, or worn itself out, or I've worn myself out about it. We seem to be basically where were before, good friends, no possibility of getting back together. I've gotten maybe 3 of the 5 apologies I think he owes me.
I feel better about the level open communication we have. I feel glad to have him as my friend. I honestly do think us getting back together would be a terrible idea. And still the thought of him finding someone else knots my stomach and makes me want to choke on my own sadness. I recognize that a lot that comes from my own issues and my perception of the situation: if he wants to be with someone else that means he broke up with me because I'm not good enough, not because he wasn't ready for a relationship. I'm trying really hard to let that go and make the space for both of us to move on. It sucks still.
To that end this week I'm going to work as much as I can on these questions. I was reaching the point that I felt like I needed to figure out what was behind my jealousy and what was making hold on to all the hurt from that relationship then the universe just slapped me in the face with it. I guess maybe I need to speed up my emotional transformation or something. So today is question 1: I am enough, worthy and good. I do not need to be fixed. I am strong enough and smart enough for everything that faces me. I will continue to work to heal my own wounds, but I am not those wounds, not defined by them and I did not get them because I deserved them. They were an accident that I can recover from because I am worthy of feeling whole and healthy and good.
Work has become intense and hard and certainly stressful. But it isn't boring and it's been really nice to have stress directed at problems that seem solvable. I mean, it's work, it's not like any of it is surmountable there, even if I make a mistake it gets repaired and the task completed. Much better than my personal life.
It does leave me exhausted. I"m pretty sure I've watched more TV in the last couple weeks than in the last six months put together. I don't feel guilty about it. I was thinking yesterday that maybe it's a year for me to heal myself from where I started. So I'm six months in and maybe the rate of recovery has slowed, but it's still steady. And I'm getting better about forgiving myself. About not pressing myself. About giving myself time. And right now everything I have to give goes into work. Which is good because I don't have much else to think about. Which is bad because I should probably have something additional to focus on.
I think I'm doing as good a job as I can of working, albeit slowly, through my problems. Where I'm stuck right now is Hawthorn. I've made it clear to him that there is no future for us outside of friendship. I think I've convinced myself of that as well. However, I'm still struggling with this sense of being abandoned. I can't seem to get past this jealousy that just eats at me when he seems to be making new friends and moving on with his life. With this sense that I just wasn't good enough. Or that there's something wrong with me that caused to me to make the decisions that led me to get so hurt. And I feel like if I can just get past this, then I can really move on. But even as I recognize, more clearly, what my current problem is, I'm not sure exactly what to do. Let go of it. Just let it go. Still as always I know that's the answer, but I never know how or what exactly that means.
Also I cried my eyes out watching a movie a couple days ago and realized about halfway through that I was just crying. Just crying at the movie because it was sad. Not so filled with my own misery. I guess it's been a month or more since I was crying almost every day. Which means I feel better. I mean I still feel a vast internal emptiness, and a lack of sense of place in the world. Like I haven't yet found all the pieces of myself. But the shell outside is definitely thinker and harder. Becoming strong enough to keep all the pieces in once I locate them.
I feel like this journal has been a description of the path that's gotten me here. I actually sat down to read some back entries, but I can't. It's like the path only goes forward and I can't yet pause and look to see how far I've come. I've just got to keep going.

Standing Strong – a free clown skit for 2 clowns by Steve Conley, dealing with standing in God's strength
This skit comes from Steve Conley , courtesy of the Clown Ministry group at http://groups.yahoo.com/ – a group I heartily recommend, by the way.
Kim: Steve, what are you doing?
Steve: Working out.
Kim: Why?
Steve: Because God will honor us for standing strong. So I'm working out to be able to get strong.
(Steve lifting up arms to do shoulder presses)
Kim: (waving her hand in front of her face or holding her nose) Oh, you're getting strong all right!
Steve: I know, I'm feeling stronger with every rep I do.
Kim: Well how strong do you have to be to stand strong?
Steve: I'm not sure. I guess I could see if I'm strong enough right now.
(Steve gets some kids from the audience and play tug-a-war — after some comedy back & forth, Steve loses)
Steve: It appears that I need to work out some more. I'm just not there yet.
Kim: You might try using this.
(Kim hands Steve a Bible)
Steve: Thanks but I think I will stick with the weights.
Kim: You need to exercise the mind!
Steve: How will that help me in getting strong?
Kim: I think God is saying that He will honor us for standing strong on values, God's values.
Steve: That's just like a girl. Always thinking about a value.
Kim: I'm talking about Godly values. The fruits of the spirit come to mind. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. We can find value in each one of these.
Steve: I'm talking about strength!
Kim: So am I. We can find strength in love. We can find strength in joy, peace, kindness self-control. In all of these…
Steve; OK, I get it! The Bible says that God is my strength.
Kim: Right. (looks at audience) Honor God and He will honor you.

Here's the second card that I made with the Mega Mosaic BG technique. I have one more card for you tomorrow. But look at yesterday's card and today's. They are similar but VERY different. I like any technique that makes me more productive, don't you? I got three cards done in a short time! I just had to figure out how to cover up my mistakes! (Like I said yesterday, be careful with your pieces.) I think that this is my favorite of the three. Is it? Hm…. I will think on that and let you know.
