Did you know that your mind naturally rejects thoughts that your conscience deems "inappropriate" and puts them deep in the back of your unconscious? It's called repression and it's a theory of the European scientist Sigmund Freud who was a master of psychoanalysis and curing mentally damaged people. I find it very interesting. Lately I've been trying to bring all my thoughts to the conscious mind, good or bad, sick or beautiful. It's very difficult, but lately I've found it easier to remember my dreams in the morning. Your mind works in such a way that the memories you reject are more likely to come back to your conscious when the repression mechanism is weakest, at night. That's why dreams are really weird. They are all those thoughts that you put in the back of your mind for later. As a gymnast it's very important to notice all my thoughts so I can learn to block the one's that will cause a bad performance. It is nearly impossible because you have thousands of thoughts a day. wow.
I'm done with all the Card books we have. There are more and I think I want to get them. I just finished The Speaker for the Dead about Ender as an adult. Amazing! I want someone to "Speak" at my funeral. Tell the world who I really am, who I wanted to be, and who I failed to be. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
Homeschooling is being banned in California unless the parent is a certified teacher. When I first learned this I almost freaked out thinking Oh my goodness I might have to go to high school! But then I remembered we're not in California anymore. Silly me. I keep forgetting. I guess good ol' California is still my home in my heart:) whew. I was scared for a second.
Anyway, we've had a few sunny days which must mean that spring is near.

hey kalli,
freud doesn't know everything. remember that a theory is just a theory. listen to your heart, be sensitive to your gut feeling. and read critically. (people like freud. just because our whole phsycology and socialogy has been greatly influenced by his theory's doesn't prove him right. did you read one flew over the cuckoo's nest? no theory or line of reason can replace the power of Love and Truth.)
love you,
acacia
