Who knew?

Last updated on: April 30, 2012 at 12:23 am By Kate Cousino

Who knew that being loud and jacked up around other people isn’t the same as being extroverted? Yes, still mulling over the discovery that, despite years of being told otherwise, I am actually an introvert. I was asked why this should matter – partly I guess it means I feel like I can stop beating myself up over not being more social. I know introverts who do push themselves to be veritable social butterflies, but I don’t think I need... Read more

Mutable personality

Last updated on: April 25, 2012 at 2:34 pm By Kate Cousino

I took a Jungian personality test today. You’ve probably taken one of these at some point – the Myers-Briggs is a popular and rather extensive Jungian types test. You answer a bunch of questions and wind up with a four letter code that tells you what kind of person you are. I took a lot of these in college, but didn’t find them useful because my results varied each time. Here are the four spectra the test is supposed to... Read more

Self-knowledge

Last updated on: April 19, 2012 at 11:34 am By Kate Cousino

What do you do when you run up against your limitations? How does the short person accept that they will never use the top shelves, the clumsy person resign themselves to a lifetime of bruises, the diabetic find peace with a lifetime of dietary vigilance, the mentally ill deal with their own unreliable perceptions? Does it make a difference whether your particular shortcoming is one that is visible and clearly non-volitional? In a lifetime of wearing glasses, no one has... Read more

Gathering up pieces

Last updated on: April 13, 2012 at 10:56 am By Kate Cousino

Hello, you few, you wonderful readers. I told my almost sister in law recently that this blog is dying. That it is far easier to write on the kid blog (http://twoboysandarose.blogspot.com) about these little people who make me happy, or to write privately to the most patient of my friends about my private struggles, than it is to write here, publicly, about myself. Because for all that I’ve written about politics, or faith, or current events, or philosophy…in the end... Read more

It occurs to me

Last updated on: March 5, 2012 at 12:43 pm By Kate Cousino

…that there is a difference between loving someone and desiring for them to lead a better and holier life for their own sake…and wanting someone to change their ways for the sake of your own comfort or pride, and calling it love. God preserve me from caring more about appearances and my own comfort, than for people and reality. Read more

Memory

Last updated on: January 31, 2017 at 3:08 pm By Kate Cousino

My brother mentioned something to me a few weeks ago that I find compelling, a bit scary, and fascinating. He was telling me that memory is a lot more like a filing system than something concrete and unchanging. When we ‘remember’ something, we essentially take the file out of its folder and file cabinet, open it up, and read it. But, when we read it, we also change it – we can erase emotional data (extinction), or add extra data... Read more

Prayer requests for Lent

Last updated on: January 18, 2017 at 9:14 pm By Kate Cousino

For Lent I’ve decided to offer my lenten sacrifices for others. I’m giving up Facebook again, but instead of withdrawing and becoming self-focused, I want to use the time to intercede for others. I’m marking a different prayer intention on my calendar for each day of lent. If you would like me to pray for you this lent, you may email your intentions to me at ceitagh at gmail dot com. Blessed Lent! Read more

Thoughts on Facebook…

Last updated on: February 7, 2012 at 8:33 am By Kate Cousino

I took a break from FB, and the forums, for most of January. It was good in a lot of ways, but I knew it was a temporary break so it didn’t result in calling people more often or anything like that. I have a friend who dropped FB permanently and it’s actually improved our relationship, even though she is long distance, because we email much more often, she writes more indepth stuff on her blog or on Google+ than...
