Today's Quote: "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Christopher Robin to Pooh."
- A. A. Milne
Lesson Learned: I'm considering the possibility that I am not in control.
If I'm not in control, who is? The Army? As much as I respect those that wear the uniform, I guess I've been a civilian wife too long to trust in the Army that much. Some say that God is in control and I should just turn it all over to Him. It's been a long, long time since I've been a believer. I'm not sure I'm going down that path again just yet. So I'll just sit here on the edge of chaos and see what happens. And I will assume that, like my eldest daughter, I will do things the hardest way possible. Maybe that's my destiny.
But all is not Gloom and Doom on the homefront. The radio station said there's gonna be a party and I think I am going to go and I am going to make my DH go, too. I emailed the organizer. Maybe she will become my first Army Friend. She's gotten units in our state (and their families) "adopted" during their deployments in the past. Perhaps I can assist her with that. Doing and giving seem to be good therapy for me - just have to be careful that Type A peronality me doesn't go too far overboard (I am assuming I will at least go a little overboard as that is just in my nature).
Well, at least I don't have to go this alone. There are friends and family - those who saw me through the last crazy idea my DH had - and friends yet unmet. A year from now, I'll probably look back at this and laugh at how wimpy I was!
See what happens when you're a sucker for a man in uniform!
