9) Are you against public displays of affection?
No, I love holding hands, Rodney’s are always so warm, and I don’t care who sees. Well the young people are always commenting on how wonderful our relationship looks and I have to wonder what they see because we don’t really display our affection publicly.

23) Do you wear a ring?
Yes, I stopped for a while because of the Easter Letter that talks about our beauty coming from the inside, a meek and quiet spirit, but I’ll have to wait until I have a few more wrinkles so that guys stop looking at me and judging me as a 25 year old unmarried person.
24) Favorite day of the week? Why?
Sunday, I love to relax, worship and read.
25) Do you make New Year's resolutions?
I haven’t for a number of years, because I couldn’t keep the one I had made about reading a chapter in the bible everyday, I’m too off and on about it.

I love to read true stories, comics, and psychology books.
29) In your opinion, are you easy to get along with?
No, I’m a bit moody, but I can’t hear anyone complain. Living with each other is always hard, but I try and give others as much chance to fail as I give myself.
30) When cleaning, ever sweep that hard-to-get-rid-of little junk under the rug?
I’m sure I have once or twice in my life, probably when I’ve spent the whole day cleaning house and see it getting messy right behind me.

It’s when you aren’t given the freedom, time, or space from the other person to be yourself.

Nothing it is a source of joy to me as is.
36) What do you like the best in your relationship?
The laughter.
37) Which person in your life has died, that you miss and were close to?
Well I really miss my Uncle Elias a lot, but we weren’t that close. The brake has kept some very dear people out of my life that I was close to and miss. That’s Rose and Sharon at Airport, and Betty at Jamesvally. Also a friend lost her son, and that was heartbreaking to have to accept.

Yes, before my first breakdown I got this strange feeling that something was weird or not normal and I flew off the handle in an instant.
39) What is one thing in your life you would do over again if you could?
Well that question is too personal, I’m sure we could find a bundle of things to do over if we could.
40) What do you think would bring contentment in your life?
Nothing that is here on this earth, I am most contented when I have a good relationship with God and his people and am assured of their love.
41) If you had a chance to help an “unhappy ” friend, what advice would you give them?
Just let them talk, that is all they need, the other person is smart enough to figure things out for himself. I think there is a good reason we were given two ears and only one mouth.
42) What would be your “dream job” if you had the choice and opportunity?
Well it went from being a doctor, to being nurse, to being a midwife, to being a message therapist as I got older and lost the chance of having the opportunity. (Shucks) Well as a mother I am all these and so much more.
43) Do you recognize when you're in a bad mood?
Yes, and I try to stay away from others so that they don’t catch it, but since I’ve been married I know that I am a source to other peoples happiness, so I take the job more serious of keeping up a better mood.
44) Do you: a: Let your room get messy for a few days and then clean it up
B: Clean it every day
A.

Depends on the situation, you need to have the wisdom to decide when to do what.
46) Were you a teachers pet?
No, but I think I tried sucking up.
47) Should money be spent or saved in your opinion?
If you want something big you save it; if you’ve got enough of it enjoy it and give to the needy.
48) Would you tell someone you love them even when they are annoying you?
Every day!!
49) Do you like surprises or the thrill of expecting?
I like them both.
50) Where are you ticklish the most?
Now that would be telling!!!

Counsel

I just read Brock Shields’ book: Down Came the Rain, it’s about her struggle with post-partum depression, I had post-partum psychosis. It was incredible how I could relate and how many of our thoughts and feelings were the same. So I found a real nice psychiatrist; he’s quite exciting and sure knows his stuff. Here are some of the reasons I like him so much:
· He will come directly to my home, so I can sit or lie down anywhere I feel comfortable.
· His rates are extremely low.
· He is a Christian.
· He will give me counsel from the bible on any moral issues.
· He will spend as much time as I need.
· He already knows my history so I needn’t waist time on that.
· He has a wonderful solution for guilt.
· He can really draw out what is inside and figure out the problem in no time.
His name is Wonderful, Counselor, Almighty God, The Everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace, and He is available for anyone who needs Him at any time.
