Yet another update

grim23This weekend I went to the Season Opener for the BIMC at Maryhill, and welcomed the sun for Summer Solstice. It was quite good, and then I went to a gun show, and then I went to my Grandmothers for a potluck, and then I rejected a house for rent. It's all good, actually. Next weekend? Crisis/Medical for Harmony Event Medicine for the Northwest String Summit.
I keep moving stuff to the Temporary Digs. The Goddess of Real Estate has not yet given me a House, but I may wait until there is more of a buyer's market to buy, and just rent. Internship questions are looming again, and this also is worth postponing buying an expensive house. Stay tuned.
I have accepted a teaching position at Willamette University to teach undergraduate students a class regarding the Psychology of Addiction in the Fall.
I have been training hard for Karatedo, and my belt test is tomorrow. I'm probably ready to test. Class tonight is a simulated test, and I'll know then. I'm nervous, but I can do this.
Work is going OK. No progress on my Dissertation.
What am I thinking about? Nici13 posted, in discordian fashion, in response to my post where I wrote that I will continue to hurt others for a long time unintentionally: "I believe everyone chooses their own pain, what may 'hurt' one person will not 'hurt' another. I believe I can choose an action that may not be in my best interest and conflict with another person's needs, but I can't 'hurt' them, that alone, is their choice". I'm still processing, but it works with some guilt and self-doubt that I have been experiencing that has been slowing me down. Thank you, representative of Malcolypse The Younger.

Good Luck with all that :)
Date: 2005-06-21 02:08 pm (UTC)Your Belt test tomorrow, You will do great. Transform the nervousness into focused energy and nothing can hold you back *smiles*
The right house will come when the right moment occurs, renting is a good option when one must wait. Same goes for the Internship looming ;), Spirit sees more of the Path before you than any human can, have faith, They have great things planned for you.
Willamette University is lucky to have you, I'm sure you will be a fine teacher.
Guilt and self-doubt... definitely time to let them go. Ask yourself four questions...
Have I observed the actions and consequences?
Have I learned the lessons?
Have I applied the learning and achieved the wisdom of the experience?
Have I made Peace with all those involved, and with my own spirit?
If you can answer yes to all those questions... then there is no reason for guilt or doubt anymore. And from my limited perspective I think you probably have, or are close to it.
*hugs & Goddess Smiles*
