Rambling and Musing

Prince William is getting married!  This is such good news.  I truly hope he (and his brother Harry) are both going to be happy and fulfilled in their lives.  It just broke my heart when their Mama died in such a tragic way leaving them to the care of their dork of a father.  Ol' Prince Charlie doesn't exactly scream "I am a warm, and loving kind of guy" now does he?

My Grandma has been transferred from the hospital back to the rehab nursing facility she was at when I was there.  I don't know that this is the best option for her.  But it is certainly the best one open to her right now.  I don't know what this will mean for her.  I also don't know if I should be planning another trip out there right now or not.  Maybe take a wait-and-see attitude for a while?  I just don't know.

I did finally decide to read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and force myself to sit long enough to get immersed in the story.  It took me close to halfway through that book to decide that I liked it.  So the first thing I did when I finished was to go to the Kindle store and get the sequel!  And I have just started that one.  There are some really quirky and interesting characters in here.

I am also reading a book recommended to me called The Five Love Languages or the The Five Languages of Love.  Or something along those lines.  It's all about how people seem to be in one of five different categories as to how they instinctively prefer to give and show their love.  And if your style of giving doesn't match your spouse/child/friend/etc. way of receiving love, you will end up with some problems.  I can't imagine that there are many couples out there who have paired up whose style of giving and receiving is exactly the same.  I immediately on hearing this assumed I was in one category, then upon reading I sort of vacilated between two others.  Then at the end I took the test and ended up back in the first category. Maybe the first instinct is the right one?  Now I just have to figure out which one is Mr. Big Ed's category and go from there!

Speaking of tests, I was reading Bye Bye Pie yesterday and June had us all go over to 9types and take a enneagram personality test.  So I did.  And boy oh boy, was I amazed and astounded by the results.  There are 9 personality types and most people I think are dominant in one or two, some even in three. But my score looks like I am totally and damn near completely in one and totally deficient and even in the negative in most all the others.  This does not seem like the results of a well-rounded healthy individual, does it?  Apparently I am a Helper, a nurturer and care-giver individual with some artistic tendencies thrown in.  Other than that, I have no personality.  The other categories have to do with being a leader, a thinker, a questioner, a peacemaker (every time I see that I think pacemaker.  Ha!).  But I have no leading, motivating, or making of peace qualities I guess.

Anyone else doing any introspection?  It's hard work for me because it does not come naturally and I have to really focus.  Apparently being a helper, nurturer type does not include helping and nurturing the self!  : )

Enjoy your Wednesday!
