Change is often hard. We were given a new computer this week by Mike's Dad. Very generous. We really like it but on Thursday night as we were making system restore disks (....two hours those things took to make, two hours.....), loading antivirus software, trying to remember exactly which password we had put on the Internet account, it just seemed like it would be a whole pile easier to stick with the old, familiar and decidedly decrepit computer. Yesterday I really struggled with not washing my hair, yeuch it looked pretty awful. I wanted a sign for my forehead which would read something like.................. well I am not exactly sure how I would explain it, a hat or indeed a bag for my head might have been easier. Two and half weeks Beth reliably informs me, or at least Meredith's book says, for our hair to adjust to a different routine.

How long I wonder for me to adjust to a different pace? I do not want to do less. I just want to be more effective in what I do. I changed the header quote today. Justice. Mercy. Humility. These I want to pursue. And Dot's comment on the previous post is really worth the contemplating..... .

It is encouraging that there are others who get this, and get it clearer than me.

And as for my hair on a significantly shallow note, I am adjusting a bit at a time. every second day for a month or so and then we will move on to three days. Either that or I need two and a half weeks somewhere I know nobody. I have a lot of pride to deal with.
