The Bird Cure

Tonight I did an exercise that called for me to list EVERY single irritation that I have. The point is that each irritation builds on the next and creates anger altogether. I honestly didn't think I had many, but it turns out I do. The next step is to get victory over each one singularly,...

Do you get your sense of self worth from a stable source?

I have had PRESSURE on me for many years. It ampped up to unbearable when I began receiving disability.  I felt like I had to use my time wisely. I couldn't just slack off and eat bon bons and watch tv all day. This was not entitlement. Even though I have a part time job...

Oh Wow!! Its still Lent, isn’t it?

What a time to have given up processed carbs for Lent! Ok, I have to admit that during all the news and changes in daily life I haven't kept up my promise. Carbs are my downfall. Is it too late to change what I want to give up? LOL

Preparing a heart that is not at rest

It is not easy to prepare a heart that is not at rest. Today I had a mind that was whirling around and around starting the moment I woke up. My mind began racing – what to do first? It was like what some refer to as a monkey mind. It was jumping from possibility...

An encounter this week that really got to me

Last night my voice coach encouraged me to write a post that is in tune with myself. Something longer than the ones she noticed had been quickly done. (And may I say that was very observant of her. I thought no one would notice) So here goes... This week I came into contact with an...

Quote of the Day 01/05/2020

I am new to blogging. I started November 2018, so just a little over a year ago. I wish it were as easy as just logging in daily, typing something awesome on the page and pushing publish all with ease. HA! So much more goes into it. I am also in the process of writing...

Tonight’s Bible verse is about my “thorn”: 2 Corinthians 12: 7- 10

What is your thorn tonight? What is your problem?I have a thorn in my side, which means I have a problem to walk through. We all have them. Some of us have chronic thorns which do not go away…just like Paul’s. Others of us get them from time to time and rip at our flesh,...

Depression

I have had depression for 3 days. Three days of 15 hours in bed a day. With a couple waking hours in agony of wishing I was in bed. Today I have not been able to keep my thoughts on the positive...only neutral at best. I did go out for a walk. I know part...

Depression: Are you hanging out in the negative room or in the positive room?

Wouldn't life be great if we could just go to another room whenever we feel negative? In this new room we would focus on and only feel good thoughts and feelings. Oh Wait... It is possible! Read on: I just read a piece about identifying our negative thoughts. I once tried to do this. Well...

The Difference an Inch Makes

From a little hair cut I came to all these thoughts. I find it amazing that the simple things in life can make us take deep looks at ourselves. This past Sunday, after I had blown my hair completely dry, I looked in the mirror and said “No more! Today I’m cutting it right now!”...
