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 get to the bank. I didn't get the doctor called. I probably didn't stop myself from pushing myself too hard. I didn't get enough sleep. I haven't been doing very well at not bitching at all.
2. Think about one of your fears
I'm petrified that disability is going to say no.
3. Think of a way to face that fear
I should do my end of the paperwork. I know what I'm going to say, I just need to write it down. I also need to call the doctor so I can collect his side of the paperwork, just in case he screwed that up too, we'll have time to fix it.
4. One new thing you’d like to do
Go to my ASL course!! 
5. What you don’t like about yourself
I'm too easily discouraged by my disease.
6. How you can change what you don’t like about yourself
Use the stupid timer. Five minutes is better than none. Don't put off taking my pills, because I don't have to prove myself to anyone, and I get things done much better when I don't feel the pain.
7. Your greatest qualities
I'm silly. I'm amusing (not the same thing). I'm caring. I'm getting to be a better listener. I think I'm starting to grow back into myself, because I'm starting to be able to sense things again, and that's very good.
8. What the future holds
MY CLASS TOMORROW AHH! Going back to work. A paycheck. Ups and downs. Skating on the canal. Hopefully 'Lyses and famy coming up. Summer. A road trip with Ari maybe, to get my van?
9. Your life goals
I want to be able to communicate. I want to know people. I want to love. I want to have a family. I want to have a home. I want to help guide people. I want to be a person worth knowing. I want to be.
10. You only have one life
Shiny!! |
