Begin with right here and now. I have come along way since I began using this site I can hardly believe that I am the some person emotionally. Over the last 4 months I have been in a rut and truly the only way to get out of this rut is with action. So starting today I will have a weekend filed with action. What do I need to do.
I am sure that I will have to modify but I do have a plan of action which is more then what I have had in the last couple of months.
In addition to items on check off I have also

Today
Hi All,
I called in sick, have to stop saying "FU" back.
Anyway began (again) taking action to start my dog care business. I answered 2 job listings: a one-person office & a dog walker.
This weekend I will put up signs in my "hood," too, maybe if the vet is open, go in and introduce myself.
I've taken action before to start this business, "For the Love of Dogs," in my old neighborhood, but it didn't work. I hope I can keep taking actions even when disappointment reigns (not that I'm expecting it, but it happened before). Just have to remember to keep taking actions and let go of the results, in HP's hand's not mine..
Have a great weekend everybody!!

Agnus checking in
Thanks for everyone's supportive comments yesterday. The police got their man after 4 hours of SWAT and helicopters in the neighborhood yesterday...I fell asleep too early to see the news so still not sure of details but glad it's over! Also my boss apologized for being rough on me. My own Step 10 last night showed me what I should have done differently on my end, so my amends are first up today.
I had a good cry this morning - something I don't allow enough time for, but really need these days. It's appropriate to be sad about the losses that have come with my parents' and spouse's health problems, and to feel a bit lost and fearful about it all. Also this is day 2 after an all-night work-binge so I am procrast-hungover. Had to ask Higher Power to relieve the guilty feelings that make me want to go back to bed and hide. Reading others' posts here helped me get out of that and notice what a really pretty day it is here. I will practice gratitude and borrow from a fellow PA-er: henceforth, only positive thoughts need apply for space in my brain today!

Journey 10 am
Happy Friday the 13th! I worked late last night due to a network problem so I slept in a bit this am. I had a very productive day yesterday, but it seems I'm trying to make up for it today. I did exercise at home this morning but I'm a slow poke now. I'm going for coffee and then I'll make my todo list and check back.

kromer 9:40 CI rough start
yesterday was good, I got to bed on time, I was all set to get up at 6:30
and then, this morning, had an awful time getting out of bed and getting to work on time, didn't pray, didn't exercise, didn't do the dishes, don't want to do anything, missed phone CI.
Oh well, I know that my motivation tends to oscillate a lot, today is a low day and I just need to do the best I can.
Today I need to:
*Take care of mice
*Go to poster session
*Read a couple papers on comparative stuff
*Analyze RT data
*Finish stats HW
*youth group
*Read a couple gen-interest papers
*Clean up lab nb
*organize freezer boxes
right now, I'm going to finish stats HW. when lab tech is free to help me (prob. in about 45 min), I'll take care of mice.
Hi Kromer
I think we all have days like this...there is a song that was recently out, I don't know if you've heard it..it says, "so you had a bad day, bla, bla, bla, take a bla step and turn it around..." and when I would hear it and was having a bad day, it made me feel so grateful, because that's all it is, a bad day.
Take good care.

This is a better morning than I have seen in a while. Made the morning phone bridge on time. Woke up feeling relieved and excited with lots to do and the ability to do them. Feel pretty positive today.

Just lost everything I wrote before, but it's ok need to look at what I "did do" yesterday got to swim, send info to friend, sent out my laptop adaptor, home tasks, all for just showing up..
In the end, the key is to follow up in a way that demonstrates thoughtful commitment to the issue, but flexible understanding of the circumstances surrounding that level of contact. You already get 90% for showing up, work for the extra 10% and you will be handsomely rewarded.
