Being "Here" this Morning (Part 1 of 2)

This morning, we have a day off and we thought we might try to do a catch-up of where everyone is at. We think that it might help us regroup.

To some of you that are newer to our journal, we’d like to add a note that if you are interested ... there is a little written about each of us under the favorite sites, Kathryn Corey Center. The web page hasn’t been updated for a couple of months now, but under the section, "Meet the staff" we were each introduced formally. I don’t mean to seem vain, it’s just that it might help in understanding who we each are or where we are at.

Dear Heart - had an hour out with Dr. M this week. She’s trying to accept his help, but is yet very reticent. Embry is at peace. Mimi was out for a little time with our friend. She seems to be in a secure place. Crystal has slept through the week. Gracie had time out and seems to be more able to withstand being out for those few moments.

Marie’s been very active ... she seems to be assuring the younger parts of more time with Dr. M and our friend. Anna seems to be colluding with the Casies on their runs to borrow/sneak cookies from Sr. Tess. Casey and KC have been helping Marie with Dear Heart. They’ve been the ones walking her to the car after the sessions are over.

Anniemi has been having a hard time with Sr. Tess’ anger, but was out yesterday to listen to her talk about Sr. Tess’ mother which seemed to calm both of them. Sr. Tess’ mother is in her 90's and has already cheated death several times over. Henry has been playing with the set-up of the second work computer. He’s shared with us his sense of fun over "the game of work."

Lissa had a rare visit with Dr. M. This last couple of weeks. She seemed to want to let him know that she is doing well and would like to know him better. Sarah has been busy this week and has been scolding us for our stead diet of unhealthy foods. She’s been enjoying the "home-visits" to the other journal sites. I seem to be getting a little stressed and looking very forward to having today off from work.

Jamie has been spearheading along with Marie getting DearHeart out more frequently. She seems to know something about the sexual images that

V - I'm not sure how much intelligence we have, but there is a whole lot of effort going on here, each day we learn something more of ourselves and others and we feel encouragement from our relating.
