Playing hooky!
One of our daughters has just completed Level 2 in counselling skills. Whilst I am so proud of her, I am slightly concerned that I am now undergoing some kind of psycho-analysis into the sayings I randomly come out with....however, I was quite honoured to hear that she had shared with her class that I was her 'Super-Ego' - apparently the angel on her shoulder, guiding and directing her thoughts and moves, only to be told that this was not always a good thing and she is now learning to challenge this inner voice! Now that got me wondering...I often hear my own mum's voice on my shoulder telling me what I shouldn't be doing (always for my own good). It usually happens during the daytime when I pick up my knitting or a book to read - that guilty feeling that I shouldn't be enjoying myself indulging in leisurely pursuits, as there is always 'work' to do! So you can imagine the battle that was going on with my super- ego the morning I decide...
