Script Writing

i know it's been a long time since I've posted. lots of changes. one high point~new job!! so i won't rant and rave about inconsiderate authority and poorly made decisions... maybe.

buying a house. big step. lots of signature forms. what does it all mean?

i dunno. ask jason.--seems to be my mantra as of late.


I have recently been thinking about the script we all play back in our heads. Everyone has a different script telling them who they are. It's like the lines we say back to ourselves when something bad happens. "I will never be happy." "No one understands." I've been listening closely to what others say to see if I can figure out what their script is. It's not difficult to discern based upon outlook and simple conversation.

Where do we develop these scripts? Is it past experience? Is it repeated past experience? And can we be set free from that? I believe we can. But the changing of the scripts is the beginning of transformation.

So here's the challenge: Am i really listening to the script of those who come to me for help be it advice, a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on? or am i judging them based upon how they reacted to the situation?

because if i listen to their scripts, i can see their reaction.

start listening for scripts.

I am on a journey, searching for God and what that means in my daily life. It's not about constraints, it's not about limitations, but freedom. I know something exists beyond the visible. I live thinking about possibilities and what could be and the necessary steps to make things happen. I like long talks with a good friend, drinking tea, eating breakfast with my husband, going to a bookstore (they are the new libraries), cool mornings, windy days in the fall, learning about love and life from those who seem to have found their way, teenagers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, long baths, and connecting with another heart. I am learning how to love, how to live, when to speak and when not to, when it's time to gather the stones, when it's time to let go, surrender, forgiveness, and discipline.
