Have you ever been pregnant? If not, do you know someone who is? Or has been recently? Did you notice that they weren't quite.... right? I mean, you'd ask them something, and they'd start to answer you, and then completely... oohh. My toe hurts. I wonder why... maybe I have a sliver from when I... Oh wait. What was I saying? Oh... Um... DANG IT!
Of course, this is exaggerated for your entertainment, but you get the idea. I'm finding more and more that this is the case. In case I've not told you (which you will please chalk up to what I call pregnancy brain, not that I intentionally didn't tell you), we're expecting a Sohl-baby in October. Yes, this baby will be born in our new locale. And, if I haven't already told you (which again, we'll give to what will now be call PB -unless I forget and call it something else- and an online hug if you weren't previously aware <---->) we're moving. Yep. And while I'd prefer not to specify where in this forum at this point in time, let's just say that I'll continue to endeavor in learning mas espanol. :)
So the mind. My Sohl-mate and I were discussing what an amazing and scary thing the mind is. With all our advances, and understandings of so many things, we really don't understand much about our bodies. And even more impressively, we understand very little (relatively speaking) about how the mind works. Granted, we've made amazing strides, and years from now, if the internet is still the forum it is, and people were to read this, they might find this musing quite amusing.
What strikes me is that while I understand why we can't do more to understand the mind (or brain more specifically), we don't know more about it. I would guess that therein lies the problems. We really can't be dinking around inside someone's brain, because if we're dinking with the wrong stuff, we just may kill them. However, if we dink around with a used (nice way of saying a dead person's brain, I guess) brain, we don't see the immediate effects of manipulation. I can imagine it's incredibly interesting and frusting thing to be a scientist or doctor studying the brain.
Wow. That was fairly indepth and logical for me at this time of day. I need to stop and grab a cat nap, but I'll have more revelations soon! Hugs!

That entry actually made quite a bit of sense! Even for a pregnant gal! I have rubbed elbows with a brain surgeon and he is quite an eccentric cat. I guess you have to be a lil eccentric to work in that field.
I think I'm going to steal that word, "Dink."
"Isaac, will you stop dinking around with your daddy's stuff!"
"I'm going to dink around the mall for a little while."
"Honey, I'm not in the mood to do any dinking right now. . . crap! Did I just say that?!"
Moving is among the most stressful things we encounter so allow you, hubby, and kids to express that in all manner of ways. In response, God himself said (to paraphrase Matthew 6 and Luke) "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life..Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? ...So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?'...Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself...do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say
Luke 12:26
Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Luke 21:14
But make up your mind not to worry beforehand...
I've had to remind myself a gajillion times that when I worry I actually displease and even disobey God who wants us to not worry about stuff. That said, a move abroad can worry a person. Go with joy. There's many reasons!
