Phase Three: Step 15

This phase will be challenging, I think. Unlike the previous phase there was a whole chapter to prepare for Phase Three. This [hase is all about changing my habits and doing things differently.

I had to do some little tests in order to see what my "people habits" were as well as my "doing habits". In the People habits I scored in the medium, like most people I have a range of habits relating to how I view others and how I behave towards them. In the Doing habits I had a low score, which appears to mean that I don't have too many bad thinking habits in relation to doing things.

So, for the next week I will have to do: 2 "Doing" days and 5 "People" days PLUS 2 other tasks.

On People Days I have to either: listen, ask, give, new, find out or help.
On Doing Days I have to choose between the following tasks: walk, create, activity, learn, stand or change.

I chose to do one of my "People" task today: Ask

Earlier I called my mom and told her not to have her pooch put down. We would drive up to her place and pick Cathy (the pooch) up and bring her home with us. I couldn't bare the thought of having her put down because of the move. She did not deserve to die that way.

I've been thinking about this all day, and not to mention the fact that this idea has been going around in my head for a while now. I really don't want to freak out my cat, which always lived alone, in this house. In the last 11 years Tobi slept away from home only once, when he was hospitalised.

Whenever I would ask hubby if I/we were doing the right thing he would always tell me that it was up to me to decide. If I wanted to take the dog in, we would. But the final decision was mine to make.

So, earlier I called a friend and asked her what she taught of the situation. I already knew she's an animal lover, but I also think that she's a responsible person. We talked for a while and she made some suggestions about the two (cat & dog) pets interaction. She gave me the little bit of reassuring I needed (Thanks Mu!), so when hubby gets back from work, we will drive up to my mother's and bring the pooch home. Our home will become her nursing home and I can only hope that the time she will spend with us will be happy and peaceful. That's all I want to give her.

So, that was my first task completed in Phase Three, and it actually felt very good to ask!
