Curse, Swear and Use Profanity I did not mean to be gone so long. I had the flu or something like it the last few days and was just too gosh darn crabby to post. My sleep was all screwed up and when my sleep is all screwed up, I am all screwed up.

Speaking of gosh darn. I don't know how you experience your Higher Power but, mine is really into nudging. First there is the gentle nudge, then there is the slightly more powerfully nudge. If I ignore the nudging long enough eventually, I get a brick up side my head. For most of my life it has taken the brick upside my head to before I took action. I am trying to change that. After all what is the good of conscious contact when you ignore all the nudging.

Now once again, I don't know about you but, I curse, swear and use profanity a fair amount. I thought that when I became a mother that the desire to swear would magically leave me. It did not. If anything I wanted to use profanity even more. Lately my Higher Power has been doing some gentle nudging around my cursing.

So before the gentle nudging turns into a brick I am trying to clean up my language. It is hard! When you have done something since you are about ten years old it is a gosh darn hard thing to change darn it. I am reminded however, that it is progress not perfection.  ¶ 3/08/2006 02:24:00 AM
