Well, that's been my down fall so many times thinking outside the box or ahead of the crowd or just a different enough to be a loner. So I will challenge myself to Think Diffent about myself perseption of who I am. I like the God is the doer...It changes the way I think about getting a solution from a spiritual being.

Now I’m taking a cue from you, Grace and trying this idea of responding inside your original comment! And I’ve already decided on a title. And so you’ve heard! Yep, this is the last week of classes and next week is finals. I’m looking forward to spend some time in the blogosphere and gearing up for research as soon as it’s over. Umm, and after I’ve gotten some sleep! Ahhh, relaxation.

Western astrology calls me Pisces. And I've been thinking of how to best answer your comment and decided it would be best written as another post! (or at least the foundation of another post) So bear with me, finals are approaching but I'm getting there. Grace,

And though I've often loved the fantasy of a deserted island with all the books, food and internet I could want... that would sure get old after a while. Hi Catherine,

You wouldn't happen to be an Aries, would you? LOL :) Going from a very (VERY) strong independent streak (which hid, by the way, a fear of rejection) to an interdependent person is no little feat! Something I've learned along the way is - almost everyone really loves being able to assist, when you ask...especially if they know ahead of time that you aren't asking for the sole purpose of trying to get out of something yourself, etc. I have to wonder, though, Sibbia...although I understand your reasoning behind giving God the credit...isn't there a balance point we can achieve where we are responsible (in a healthy way) for BOTH accomplishments and mistakes??? I'm not talking about a purely egotistic, "Look at Me" sort of thing...but a healthy feeling of pride in reaching goals, doing a good thing, etc., can help motivate me to doing more good :) Plus, it helps me to see myself as a part of God - and not something 'seperate'. What are your additional thoughts on this? <em>Grace's last blog post..</em><a href='http://thewildpomegranate.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/my-beloved-comes/' rel="nofollow">My Beloved Comes</a> What a great exercise! :) Thanks for sharing the site and I’ll look into more a little later.
