My hand hurts from journaling, and my daughter loves the Cartoon Channel

Quote From: marcia52

I spent a lot of time journaling my emotions and feelings .. I allowed myself to express them on paper because I realized that Self Matters was triggering so many thoughts.  I'm glad I did.  I realized I just needed to "select" one non-working area in my life and just focus on that .. but continue to write down everything.

I still do that ...  and take as long as it takes. When I finally sat down and read it, I was in a mental crisis in my life.  We all read and do this book the way we need to.  That you finally left Chapter 3 is awesome.  It really triggered my thinking and I had to keep reminding myself to just read the entire book from front to back and then come back and spend the time.  I get lost in thoughts and memories .. that's why it took me so long to finally to start living a healthy life style.  I kept forgetting what I was doing because of my thoughts. 

Yep, my hands about ready to fall off.  (LOL)  But, I'm learning a lot about why I'm unique.  As humans we are all distinct; however, we share some similarities.  Pop culture is usually a given similarity.  Come on, we all know what happend to Britiny Spears. : - )

 

By the way, we got cable today!  I have been so deprived. LOL  My daughter is totally into the cartoon channel.  I give it a couple of days for the newness to ware off.  She still loves the zoo and pools more than anything else in the world.  

 

The weather has been so crazy around here lately.  We really need to be taking better care of our environment, because it's lashing back.  I just saw my first real electrical storm.  I thought it was something from a science fiction movie.  My neighbors and myself are soooo stupid.  We actually took chairs outside and watched the damn thing.  When a surge got close to one of the roofs all of us ran back inside with our chairs.  I was the only one to go back outside an hour later.  It was one of the scariest yet coolest things I've seen in a long time.  There was not wind, no rain, no thunder...only a bright sky lit up from bolts of energy.  It was lighter outside at 11:00 pm than it was inside my house with all the lights on.  You could feel the energy all around you.  My hair was standing on end.

Marcia, I share this experience of this.

Why I'm very reluctant to delve in this too much because I just don't think I experimented very much.  And I don't like to try and find memories that probably didn't happen & not be living life like it is a movie or show but as not as interesting but become more aware so that it is or at least enough so to be able to remember & grow.   

 

I found one has to stick to what felt & hoped for, with that realisations & improvements that will release me from whatever mind-set I had at the time rather than to do what I didn't as the outcome like 'A choose your own adventure' is always a new horizon rather than undoing anything that additional skills will actually make the better choice, better & would not have, even if the opportunity had been there.
