Boasts
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." -- Anne Frank
- I really shined my sink
- I was amusing
- I listened to criticism and expressions of pain without getting angry or over-emotional
- I explained myself
- I managed to take a bath, with my destroyed leg, without getting it wet
- I took care of myself
- I let myself get taken care of
- I ate
- I came up with contingency plans
- I did my morning and evening routine
- I moved
- I started my day with a smile
Thoughts
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1. The things you didn’t accomplish today
I didn't email Jamie. It's so hard to hold a coherant thought today, and all the fights/discussions took all my attention. I also didn't get to the bank. I thought I was doing well, and then my stomach rebelled and the day was shot. -_-
2. Think about one of your fears
I'm afraid of being killed.
3. Think of a way to face that fear
I'm going to keep working with exercises to help me stay present. And I will call get a referral to a psych if this gets too much more ridiculous.
4. One new thing you’d like to do
I'd like to get all the way through a pilates video.
5. What you don’t like about yourself
I have real trouble with finding a balance between maintaining the very real relationships through the cyber medium, and managing to actually live in the real world.
6. How you can change what you don’t like about yourself
Make time spent online less unpredictable, call people when possible as well as depending on IMs, and get out of the house more while making clear I am not abandoning anyone, without allowing guilt to keep me from actually seeing 3d people.
7. Your greatest qualities
I am loving. I am silly. I am actually pretty organized. I am a dreamer. I am determined.
8. What the future holds
Sunshine and groceries. Going back to work, and feeling productive. The disability paperwork. The surgery. Summer, and festivals and events. The bus strike will end. My ASL class.
9. Your life goals
I want to be a worthy person. I want to be someone who is important and respected. I want to be a mommy. I want to be a homeowner. I want to be debt free. I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror. I want to minister and help people.
10. You only have one life
And thank god for that, too. One is complicated enough. |
