Ruth's Ramblings

Digging Deep...

... into my GUMS, no thank you!! It was only a regular cleaning, and I came out of it really sore all over, and I couldn't even eat lunch because my teeth were so sensitive!! Maybe I'll ask Chris whether there was something wrong with that hygienist. It's been well over 7 hours ago and my teeth are still smarting from the abrasive cleaning. I have no idea what I can eat for dinner (everything that involves chewing still hurts). =(

Aside from physically digging deep, my appointment with B was pleasantly surprising and dug deep in a spiritual level. We mulled over things for almost a good 3 hours - it was good to talk about the things we did because I don't have many peers around me that can understand some of these issues. I have yet to process through all that we've discussed, and she encouraged me to find a professional to guide me through some deep issues that maybe be difficult to surface on my own. I felt validated, affirmed, understood, and encouraged. I was wary at first because I sensed that our personalities were completely different and we were capable of clashing quite a bit - but again, I was pleasantly surprised at our meeting. God surprises (and humbles) me at every turn.
